Hello, I would like to simulate randomly from a multivariate normal distribution using a correlation matrix, rho. I do not have sigma. I have searched the help archive and the R documentation as well as doing a standard google search. What I have seen is that one can either use rmvnorm in the package: mvtnorm or mvrnorm in the package: MASS. I believe I read somewhere that the latter was

Dear All I want to generate multivariate normal data in R for a given covariance matrix, i.e. my generated data must have the given covariance matrix. I know the rmvnorm command is to be used but may be I am failing to properly assign the covariance matrix. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks. M. R. Ahmad

Hi, I want to simulate a data set with similar covariance structure as my observed data, and have calculated a covariance matrix (dimensions 8368*8368). So far I've tried two approaches to simulating data: rmvnorm from the mvtnorm package, and by using the Cholesky decomposition (http://www.cerebralmastication.com/2010/09/cholesk-post-on-correlated-random-normal-generation/). The problem is

Dear all I am a bit new to R so please keep your swords sheathed! I would simply like to bootstrap a covariance matrix from a multivariate gaussian density. At face value that seemed like a very straightforward problem to solve but I somehow could not get the boot package to work and did not really understand the documentation so I tried to do the bootstrap manually. Hence: x<-rmvnorm(n = 5,

Hi all, rmvnorm()can be used to generate the random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with specified means and covariance matrix, but i want to specify the correlation matrix instead of covariance matrix for the multivariate normal distribution. Does anybody know how to generate the random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with specified correlation matrix? What about

This might not be the correct forum for this question for there might be some flaws in my logic so the R function I'm looking for might not be the correct, but I know there?s a lot of smart people in this forum so please correct me if I'm wrong. I have been googling and searching in this forum for something useful but so far I'm out of luck. This is the background to my problem. I

R-Help I am attempting to create a series of bivariate normal distributions. So using the mvtnorm library I have created the following code ... # Standard deviations and correlation sig_x <- 1 sig_y <- 1 rho_xy <- 0.0 # Covariance between X and Y sig_xy <- rho_xy * sig_x *sig_y # Covariance matrix Sigma_xy <- matrix(c(sig_x ^ 2, sig_xy, sig_xy, sig_y ^ 2), nrow = 2, ncol = 2)

Dear All, For function: rmvnorm{mvtnorm} in (library mvtnorm, not splus2R), if I generate 2 bivariate normal samples as follows: > rmvnorm(2,mean=rep(0,2),sigma=diag(2)) [,1] [,2] [1,] 2.0749459 1.4932752 [2,] -0.9886333 0.3832266 Where is the first sample, it is stored in the first row or the first column? Does this function store samples row-wise or column-wise? Thank

This continues the message "data.frame within a function (PR#9294)" that was posted on 2006/10/12. Duncan Murdoch kindly replied. I'm using the current version R 2.4.0, but the same issue exists. Just copy and paste the following code under R, and compare the output of f1() and f2() and the output of f3() and f4(). Does anybody have any idea? Thanks.

Dear all, I would like to generate bi-variate normal data given that the first column of the data is known. for example: I first generate a set of data using the command, x <- rmvnorm(10, c(0, 0), matrix(c(1, 0, 0, 1), 2)) then I would like to sum up the two columns of x: x.sum <- apply(x, 1, sum) now with x.sum I would like to generate another column of data, say y, that makes

Hi: Does Ellipse and dataellipse function in R produce the same ellipse? I wanted to see how the radius for the Ellipse function in R calculated. Also what is the var-covariance matrix, if any, assumed for the dataellipse function? Heres an example of the code where I am generating Multivariate normal data and creating ellipse using the 2 functions: library(car) library(mvtnorm) mu =

Hi, My R version is 2.4.1 and I installed the the packages MASS and run command library("MASS"), however when I type ?rmvnorm, no help topic found, it worked before. I tried to ype ?rinvgamma from "MCMCpack" which works great. Anybody have idea? I also reinstalled MASS package, but when I try to type rmvnorm(), no functions found. Pat

Dear list, I am looking for an implementation of random rotation matrix generation in R to do a rotation test: I want to use the matrices to create random multivariate normal matrices with common covariance structure and mean based on an observed data matrix. The rRotationMatrix-function in the mixAK-package is an option, but as far as I can tell I need to draw rotation matrices with determinant

While using the rmvnorm function, I get the error: Error in eigen(sigma, sym = TRUE) : error code 5 from Lapack routine 'dsyevr' The same thing happens when I try the eigen() function on my covariance matrix. The matrix is a symmetric 111x111 matrix. Well, it is almost symmetric; there are slight deviations from symmetry (the largest is 3e-18). I have this in an MCMC loop, and it

Hi R-fellows, I am trying to simulate a multivariate correlated sample via the Gaussian copula method. One variable is a binary variable, that should be autocorrelated. The autocorrelation should be rho = 0.2. Furthermore, the overall probability to get either outcome of the binary variable should be 0.5. Below you can see the R code (I use for simplicity a diagonal matrix in rmvnorm even if it

x=rmvnorm(2000, rep(0, 6), diag(c(5, rep(1,5)))) x=scale(x, center=T, scale=F) pc <- princomp(x) biplot(pc) There are a bunch of red arrows plotted, what do they mean? I knew that the first arrow labelled with "Var1" should be pointing the most varying direction of the data-set (if we think them as 2000 data points, each being a vector of size 6). I also read from

Hi, How can I generate a random signal that's correlated with a given signal at a given correlation (say 0.7)? I've been looking at rmvnorm etc but don't seem to figure it out. Thanks ----- Yasir H.

Dear expert, I have two coefficients and covariance matrix. My objective is sampling 1000 times from the mean and covariance matrix. In order to get that, what kind of commend should I use? If you do not mind, could you tell me the comment in detail about parameter used in that commend also? Thank you. Sung. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello there, I would like to simulate X --Normal (20, 5) Y-- Normal (40, 10) and the correlation between X and Y is 0.6. How do I do it in R? Thank you very much Lisa Wang Msc. Princess Margaret Hospital Toronto, Ca

Hi everybody, I am trying to generate two random walks with an specific correlation, for example, two random walks of 200 time steps with a correlation 0.7. I built the random walks with: x<-cumsum(rnorm(200, mean=0,sd=1)) y<-cumsum(rnorm(200, mean=0,sd=1)) but I don't know how to fix the correlation between them. With white noise is easy to fix the correlation using the function
