Dear List members,

Could anyone tell me what the interpretation of the hadi-distance is? 
The Stata manual (see hadimvo) states that it is "the distance (not the 
distances squared) from the basic subset", but I do not understand 
this. Perhaps because I expected that I could interpret these distances 
as z-values, but playing around a bit with some data created using the 
commands:

-corr2data sbp age sex com1, n(1000) m(120 50 .4 .2) sd(12 
7 .048989 .04)-
AND
-hadimvo sbp age sex com1, gen(odd distance)-
AND
-su  distance-

showed distances varying between 0.227 and 4.429, and not values 
roughly between -3 and 3.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
