dmvnormal function

Multivariate Gaussian density and simulation

Fast simulation from and evaluation of multivariate Gaussian probability densities.

dmvnormal(x, mu, sigma)

rmvnormal(n, mu, sigma)

Arguments

• x: A p times k matrix of quantiles. Each rows correspond to a realization from the density and each column corresponds to a dimension.
• mu: The mean vector of dimension k.
• sigma: The variance-covariance matrix of dimension k times k.
• n: The number of observations to be simulated.

Returns

dmvnormal returns a $1$ by $p$ matrix of the probability densities corresponding to each row of x. sigma. Each row corresponds to an observation.

rmvnormal returns a p by k matrix of observations from a multivariate normal distribution with the given mean mu and covariance

Details

dmvnormal functions similarly to dmvnorm from the mvtnorm-package and likewise for rmvnormal and rmvnorm.

Examples

dmvnormal(x = matrix(rnorm(300), 100, 3),
          mu = 1:3,
          sigma = diag(3))
rmvnormal(n = 10, mu = 1:4, sigma = diag(4))
