similar to: big difference in estimate between dmvnorm and dnorm, how come?

Hi All, Why would calls to dnorm and dmvnorm return values that are above 1? For example, > dnorm(0.00003,mean=0, sd=0.1) [1] 3.989423 This is happening on two different installations of R that I have. Thank you. Hailu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am experiencing strange results using dmvnorm. I define a scaled distance matrix from the coordinates bellow and then calculate a covariance matrix using a spherical correlation function. Then with certain combinations of range and sill parameters dmvnorm is returning values greater than 1. Surely the results of dmvnorm should be in the interval 0:1 (or do I just nead a holiday?). In addition

Summary: + I am writing an R extension that needs to call dmvnorm more than 10,000 times during a model fitting computation. + My extension uses openmp for parallel execution. + As of R 3.0, it is no longer permitted for threads to call the R interpreter because there is a stack overflow check that always trips because the thread's stack is different from what R is expecting. +

Hello, everyone, I have a question about integration of product of two densities. Here is the sample code; however the mean of first density is a function of another random variable, which is to be integrated. ## f=function(x) {dmvnorm(c(0.6, 0.8), mean=c(0.75, 0.75/x))*dnorm(x, mean=0.6, sd=0.15)} integrate(f, lower=-Inf, upper=Inf) ## error message Error in dmvnorm(c(0.6, 0.8), mean = c(0.75,

I am using curve3d in the emdbook package to graph a gaussian copula density function generated via the copula package. Unfortunately, it appears that emdbook masks dmvnorm from the package mvtnorm in a way that prohibits copula from generating the gaussian copula. (Sounds very confusing!) For example, > library(copula) > f<-function(x,y) dcopula(normalCopula(0),c(x,y)) >

Greets, I'm trying to use nlminb() to estimate the parameters of a bivariate normal sample and during one of the iterations it passes a parameter vector to the likelihood function resulting in an invalid covariance matrix that causes dmvnorm() to throw an error. Thus, it seems I need to somehow communicate to nlminb() that the final three parameters in my parameter vector are used to

Dear R users, i try to use function dmvnorm(x, mean, sigma, log=FALSE) from R package mvtnorm to calculate the probability of x under the multivariate normal distribution with mean equal to mean and covariance matrix sigma. I become the following Error in solve.default(cov, ...) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 1.81093e-19 What could be the reason of it?

I have a function that generated list and then from those I need to do some repeated calculation. So I was thinking to put them in another list and call them one after the other. Given that I have 20 of those it was a bit annoying to typing all of them in one command. So I need something to do a recursive addition of a list objet to a list here a small size example A<-list()

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.

I have the following function, a MSE calc based on some Multivariate normals: MV.MSE<-function(n,EP,X,S){ (dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),I+S+EP)-dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),I+S))^2 + 1/n*(dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),1+S+EP/2)*det(4*pi*EP)^-.5- (dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),I+S+EP ))^2)} I can get the MV.MSE for given values of the function e.g

Dear All, I am trying to convert some S-plus code that I have to run MCMC into R-code. The program works in S-plus, but runs slowly. I have managed to source the program into R. R recognizes that the program is there; for example, it will display the code when I type the function name at the prompt. However, the program will not run. When I try to run the program, I get the following error

sorry for cross-posting Dear all, I have tow (several) bivariate distributions with a known mean and variance-covariance structure (hence a known density function) that I would like to compare in order to get an intersect that tells me something about "how different" these distributions are (as t-statistics for univariate distributions). In order to visualize what I mean hear a little

Hi, All: Is there a way to identify whether any users are using a particular package in a shared network R installation? I ask, because we have such a multiple-user installation and when I tried to install a package using Rgui that was in use by Rterm on a single-user installation, 'install.packages' deleted the existing package but failed to install the new version;

I have the code for the bivariate Gaussian copula. It is written with for-loops, it works, but I wonder if there is a way to vectorize the function. I don't see how outer() can be used in this case, but maybe one can use mapply() or Vectorize() in some way? Could anyone help me, please? ## Density of Gauss Copula rho <- 0.5 #corr R <- rbind(c(1,rho),c(rho,1)) #vcov matrix id <-

Hello, I am currently writing a program whose goal is to fit usual distributions (estimating parameters and confidence intervals for a given distribution). After some research in R, R-help and google I have found most of what I was looking for (especially thanks to MASS - fitdistr() ), however there are still a few distributions I could not find R code for: Multinormal, Truncated normal,

Hi all, I have been looking for means of add a contour around some points in a scatterplot as a means of representing the center of density for of the data. I'm imagining something like a 95% confidence estimate drawn around the data. So far I have found some code for drawing polygons around the data. These look nice, but in some cases the polygons are strongly influenced by outlying points.

Does anybody know of a function that implements the derivative (gradient) of the multivariate normal density with respect to the *parameters*? It?s easy enough to implement myself, but I?d like to avoid reinventing the wheel (with some bugs) if possible. Here?s a simple example of the result I?d like, using numerical differentiation: library(mvtnorm) library(numDeriv) f=function(pars, xx, yy)

library(mvtnorm) x = seq(-4,4,length=201) xy = expand.grid(x,x) sigma = (diag(c(1,1))+1)/2 d2 = matrix(dmvnorm(xy,sigma=sigma),201) xsamp = rmvnorm(200,sigma=sigma) contour(x,x,d2) points(xsamp,col=3,pch=16) pdf("pdftry.pdf") contour(x,x,d2) points(xsamp,col=3,pch=16) dev.off() postscript("pstry.ps") contour(x,x,d2) points(xsamp,col=3,pch=16) dev.off() # I can see

Dear R-ers: I'm sorry to disturb you, I want just ask if R can plot a given complicated density function. I mean if we have the expression of the density en we want to see how it's look like? and this is a density with two variables thus it's a 3D plot Thank you very much Hicham Amsterdam
