Why can't R understand if(num!=NA)?

Generating a bivariate joint t distribution in R
Hi, I conduct a panel data estimation and obtain estimators for two of the coefficients beta1 and beta2. R tells me the mean and covariance of the distribution of (beta1, beta2). Now I would like to find the distribution of the quotient beta1/beta2, and one way to do it is to simulate via the joint distribution (beta1, beta2), where both beta1 and beta2 follow t distribution. How could we
