Abstract: This paper treats the problem of estimating individual Mahalanobis distances (MD) in cases when the dimension of the variable p is proportional to the sample size n. Asymptotic expected values are derived under the assumption p/n->c, 0

Keywords: Increasing dimension data; Mahalanobis distance; Inverse covariance matrix; Smoothing
