Dear R users, I used the multivariate random numbers generation function in MASS for my study. I wonder what is an approriate way to cite the library and its authors in my publication to express my gratefulness? best regards, Yu-Kang
The MASS package (not library) is part of the `VR' bundle, and support software for MASS the book. You should cite the book.

Take a look at this thread: https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2004-February/044162.html In general, it depends, but for MASS you should probably cite the book by Venables & Ripley. -roger Tu Yu-Kang wrote:> Dear R users, > > I used the multivariate random numbers generation function in MASS for > my study.
