I have been working the the pmt function in the {mnormt} package and which requires "S a positive definite matrix representing the scale matrix of the distribution, such that S*df/(df-2) is the variance-covariance matrix when df>2; a vector of length 1 is also allowed (in this case, d=1 is set)" is there a way that I can specify the scale covariance matrix instead? Or alternatively, how do I convert the scale covariance matrix into this positive definite S matrix. Thanks in advanced. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/multivariate-t-distribution-tp3432257p3432257.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
