I know rlaplace needs location and dispersion parameters but I want to pass diag matrix as dispersion parameters and I'm not getting the correct values. Here is my code snippet: dispersion = c(3,.20,.10) dispDiag = diag(dispersion) location = c(0,0,0) output = (rlaplace(3, location, dispDiag)) Here is what I get: -0.8475811 0.0000000 0.0000000 I dont know why it is returning 0's at 2nd and 3rd place. If I change the values in location vector, it simply picks up the value and replace it at...
