Hello all!!!
1) I am wondering is there a way to generate random numbers in R for Bivariate
Uniform distribution?
2) Does R have built-in function for generating random numbers for any given
bivariate distribution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
Good day!

The runif function generates random numbers from a uniform distribution, wrap those values into a matrix and you have a multi dimensional uniform distribution. If you want more than this, give us more detail. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

When I wrap those values in to a matrix will it be still independent ? ( non zero correlation). Can I do this for any multivariate distribution which has the univariate form? Thank you for the response.

The correlation will not be exactly 0, but will represent a draw from an independent population. There may be something in the copulas package to allow for more independence (but that about exhausts my knowledge of that package). -- Gregory (Greg) L.
