similar to: faster mvrnorm alternative

I am trying to simulate draws from a multivariate normal using mvrnorm, and am getting the following error message: Error in mu + eS$vectors %*% diag(sqrt(pmax(ev, 0)), p) %*% t(X) : non-conformable arrays I do not understand why I am getting this message, since the vector of means I am giving to the function is 13 by 1 and the variance matrix I am giving to the function is 13

Hi All This might be something very trivial but I seem to miss something in the syntax or logic which makes me keep wandering around the problem without arriving at a solution. What I want to do is to simulate a sample data for performing cluster analysis. I tried to use x1= mvrnorm(10,rep(0.8,3),diag(3)) x2= mvrnorm(10,rep(0,3),diag(3)) x3= mvrnorm(10,rep(-0.5,3),diag(3)) x=rbind(x1,x2,x3)

Hi all, Recently our statistics students noticed that their Gibbs samplers were crashing due to some NaNs in some parameters. The NaNs came from mvrnorm (Ripley & Venables' MASS package multivariate normal sampling function) and with some more investigation it turned out that they were generated by function eigen, the eigenvalue computing function. The problem did not seem to happen

I want to generate multiple multivariate normal samples with different mean vectors and common covariance matrix. I can do this with a loop, but can't quite figure out how to do it with apply and friends. In the example below, I want values to have 3 columns: group, x, y # number of groups, and group means x <- jitter(seq(2,10,by=2)) y <- x + rnorm(length(x), 0, .5) means <-

Dear All,   I am using the following commands to generate a given dataset:   a <-c(0.348,0.007,0.503,0.58,0.21) cov <-c(0.0448,0,0,0,0,0.0001,0.0001,0,0,0,-0.0055,-0.0005,0.0495,0,0,0.0218,0.0009,-0.0253,0.1103,0,-0.0102,-0.0007,0.00631,0.0067,0.0132) b <-matrix(cov,nrow=5, ncol = 5, byrow = TRUE,dimnames = NULL) g <-mvrnorm(10000,a,b)   is there a way to place limits on the simulated

Dear List: I am generating N datasets using the following Sigma<-matrix(c(400,80,80,80,80,400,80,80,80,80,400,80,80,80,80,400),4,4 ) mu<-c(100,150,200,250) N=100 for(i in 1:N) { assign(paste("Data.", i, sep=''), as.data.frame(cbind(seq(1:1000),(mvrnorm(n=1000, mu, Sigma))))) } With these datasets, I need to work on some of the variables and then run each dataset

Dear R community! I would like to simulate distributions based on a polynomial model. It consists of 96 values and I want to randomly select new normaly distributed values around the modeled values. Furthermore, each value should be correlated with the previous one. Is it correct to therefore use mvrnorm? How do I define sigma? Thank you very much for your help. All the best, Marianne -- View

Dear list, I am trying to use the 'mvrnorm' function from the MASS package for simulating multivariate Gaussian data with given covariance matrix. The diagonal elements of my covariance matrix should be the same, i.e., all variables have the same marginal variance. Also all correlations between all pair of variables should be identical, but could be any value in [-1,1]. The problem I am

Hello. Somebody knows how can I generate a set of n random vectors of a normal distribution of several variables? For example, I want to generate n=100 random vectors of two dimensions for a normal with mean c(0,1) and variance matrix: matrix(c(2,1,1,3),2,2). Thanks in advance, Arnau.

Hi all. I was having some trouble with a for loop and I found the problem is the following. Does anyone have some idea why I got the following R result? Since mone is equal to 3, why mu1 only have 2 components? library(MASS) > p0 <- seq(0.1, 0.9,by=0.1) > m <- 10 > > > p0 <- p0[7] > > ## data generation > > mzero <- p0*m > mone <- m-mzero >

Dear helpers, I wrote a code which estimates a multi-equation model with generalized least squares (GLS). I can use GLS because I know the covariance matrix of the residuals a priori. However, it is a bit slow and I wonder if anybody would be able to point out a way to make it faster (it is part of a bigger code and needs to run several times). Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Carlo

Hi, I would like to simulate data with a binary outcome and a set of predictors that are correlated. I want to be able to fix the number of event (Y=1) vs. non-event (Y=0). Thus, I fix this and then simulate the predictors. I have 2 questions: 1. When the predictors are continuous, I can use mvrnorm(). However, if I have continuous, ordinal and binary predictors, I'm not sure how to simulate

Hello all. I'm building a package where I want to include a function from two different packages. In particular, I want to include mvrnorm and hyperg_2F1 from MASS and gsl, respectively (but the specific functions do not matter). With what I've tried after reading the "Specifying imports and exports" section from the "Writing R Extensions" manual, I get an error:

Hi all, [this is a bit hard to describe, so if my initial description is confusing, please try running my code below] #WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO I'd appreciate any help in trying to speed up some code. I've written a script that converts a matrix of integers (usually between 1-10,000 - these represent allele names) into two new matrices of normally distributed values (representing

Thanks for your reply. I use mvrnorm from the *MASS* package and lmrob from the *robustbase* package. To further explain my data generating process, the idea is as follows. The explanatory variables are generated my a multivariate normal distribution where the covariance matrix of the variables is defined by Sigma in my code, with ones on the diagonal and rho = 0.15 on the non-diagonal. Then y

What is 'd'? What is 'n'?

Hi all, I understand that it is simple to create data with a specific correlation (say, .5) using mvrnorm from the MASS library: > library(MASS) > set.seed(1) > > a=mvrnorm( + n=10 + ,mu=rep(0,2) + ,Sigma=matrix(c(1,.5,.5,1),2,2) + ,empirical=T + ) > a [,1] [,2] [1,] -1.0008380 -1.233467875 [2,] -0.1588633 -0.003410001 [3,] 1.2054727 -0.620558768

Hi all, Does anyone know how to get the independent components and loadings from an Independent Component Analysis (ICA), as well as principal components and loadings from a Pricipal Component analysis (PCA) using the fastICA package? Or perhaps if there's another way to do ICAs in R? Below is an example from the fastICA manual (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/fastICA/fastICA.pdf)

Hello, 1) I am interested in performing a limited-dependent variable linear regression. By this I mean a classical linear regression, but for the case where the values of the dependent variable cannot vary from -infinity to +infinity, but are truncated and so are between two finite limits L1 and L2. Does R1.7 have this capability? If so what is (are) the relevant command(s)? 2) I am also
