similar to: pmvnorm?

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

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

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what the following error message means? " Error in mvt(lower = lower, upper = upper, df = 0, corr = corr, delta = mean, : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 6)" It was generated when I used the 'pmvnorm' function in the 'mvtnorm' package. Thanks a lot. Yonghai Li

Hi there, pmvnorm(lo=c(-Inf,-Inf), up=c(Inf,Inf), mean=c(0,0) ) should give me "1", right? But it doens't - it giver me "0". Would someone help me, please? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

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 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

Hi, Would you help me solve the following question? Thanks. Question: If I try to set the probability=0.05 and find the approximate x. (The answer should be somewhere between 2.1782 and 2.1783.) I write about this R program as follows but I don¡¦t know how to get the value of x which is between 2.1782 and 2.1783. library(mvtnorm) value<-array(1000) a<-array(1000)

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

I'm trying to obtain numerical derivative of a probability computed with mvtnorm with respect to its parameters using grad() and jacobian() from NumDeriv. To simplify the matter, here is an example: PP1 <- function(p){ thetac <- p thetae <- 0.323340333 thetab <- -0.280970036 thetao <- 0.770768082 ssigma <- diag(4) ssigma[1,2] <- 0.229502120

Good point. Now this returns 0.04062184. Hmmm..... On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 6:30 PM, Hollie Johnson (PGR) < h.a.johnson at newcastle.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi Eric, > > > Thanks for having a look into this.

Currently doing some work on local maxima on a random field and have encountered an issue with the Miwa algorithm used with the pmvnorm function in the mvtnorm R package. Based on recommendations by Mi et al., we ran the mvtnorm package using the Miwa algorithm, since we have a maximum of 4 dimensions with non-singular matrices. However, running the estimation procedure in this way, we obtained

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

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]]

Package mvtnorm provides dmvnorm, pmvnorm that can be used to compute Pr(X=x,Y=y) and Pr(X<x,Y<y) for a bivariate normal. Are there functions that would compute Pr(X<x,Y=y)? I'm currently using "integrate" with dmvnorm but it is too slow.

Dear List: I have created some code to simulate data from a complex sample where 5000 students are nested in 50 schools. My code returns a dataframe with a variable representing student achievement at a single time point. My actual code for creating this is below. What I would like to do is generate a second column of data that is correlated with the first at .8 and has the same means within
