Find the orthant that contains a point - The DO Loop

twitter:description

This article shows how to classify a set of high-dimensional data into orthants. An orthant is the d-dimensional generalization of a quadrant. For 2-D Euclidean space, there are four quadrants, often labeled by Roman numerals I-IV. The quadrants are open sets that are defined by the signs of each coordinate
