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

Hi. I am trying to generate a correlated binary data set. I've tried to use mvtBinaryEP, binarySimCLF, and bindata packages but none of them works in R version 2.15.1. Do you know any package to generate correlated binary covariates and work in R version 2.15.1, or how to generate it? Thanks, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users, I am using R right now for a simulation of a model that needs a lot of memory. Therefore I use the *bigmemory* package and - to make it faster - the *doMC* package. See my code posted on http://pastebin.com/dFRGdNrG Now, if I use the foreach loop with the addon %do% (for sequential run) I have no problems at all - only here and there some singularities in regressor matrices which

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

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.

Is there anyway with some experience in using armadillo in R C++ extensions? My problem is the following: I programmed a function in a header looking like #include <armadillo> inline arma::vec foo(input) { ... do something return an arma::vec object } compiling this via R CMD INSTALL packagename (PKG_CXXFLAGS = -I/folder/of/armadillo and armadillo_bits in my package) I get the

Hi all, I am quite new in the world of parallelization and I wonder if there is a way to increase the speed of creation of a parallel socket cluster. The time spend to include threads increase exponentially with the number of thread considered and I use of computer with two 8 cores CPU and thus showing a total of 32 threads in windows 7. Currently, I use the default parameters (type =

Dear R community, I do know, that an R function is constructing a copy of any object passed as argument into a function. I program on a larger S4 project for a package, and I arrived at a point where I have to think a little harder on implementation style (especially to spare users complex object handling). I have a function foo(), taking as input arguments two S4 objects of different class

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

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 R-users, I have the following problem: I am running the function 'pvcm' from the 'plm' Panel Data package. Inside this function 'solve' is called and gives for a certain individual data series an exception because of singularity. I would like to know which individual data series causes this error. I tried to debug it, but this is truly painful, as solve is called

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, 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

Hi, Are there some packages which can generate multi-normal, multi-t, etc multivariate sampling? thanks!

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]]

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

I need use different parameters of distribution for different case to generate random value, but I use ifelse, the generated value is fixed without change. Here is example data1 y x 1 1 2 2 2 1 3 3 2 4 4 3 5 5 3 6 6 1 7 7 2 8 8 1 9 9 1 10 10 3 11 11 3 12 12 2 ifelse(data1$x==1,rnorm(1,2,1),ifelse(data1$x==2,rnorm(1,-2,1),rnorm(1,110,1))) [1] -1.8042172 0.8478681

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

Dear sir, I would ask if there are in R some code to generate a random sample from a mvariate student distribution like that one wich generate the multivariate normal one i mean( rmvnorm(n, mu, sigma) Second question : if R can plot density 3Dcurve I don't mean de histogram but de hole density function(normal for example). I use a windows version of The R software Thank you in advance wiyh

Dear R experts, I am trying to simulate correlated binary data and have stumbled upon the following problem: With the help of "binarySimCLF" or "mvpBinaryEp" I have been able to simulate correlating binary vectors given certain mean values and a desired correlation. My problem is that these procedures do not allow you to specify the exact vector for which you want to generate
