Hi there,
Since you failed to provide us with data and sessionInfo(), I can only
guess that for some reason you call the rtmvt.rejection function instead
of rtmvt.gibbs.
Just look at the code of rtvmt by typing:
rtmvt
There you can see that it is a wrapper for rtmvt.rejection or rtmvt.gibbs.
You can run them directly by typing:
tmvtnorm:::rtmvt.rejection(...)
tmvtnorm:::rtmvt.gibbs(...)
... shall be the arguments as pre-processed by rtmvt().
But first, you might upgrade your base R and the installed packages.
HTH,
Denes
