Details

Probabilities can be computed using the functions pmvSN and pmvESN for the normal cases SN and ESN and, pmvST and pmvEST for the t cases ST and EST respectively, which offer the option to return the logarithm in base 2 of the probability, useful when the true probability is too small for the machine precision. These functions above use methods in Genz (1992) through the mvtnorm package (linked direclty to our C++ functions) and Cao et.al. (2019) through the package tlrmvnmvt. For the double truncated Student-t cases SUT, EST, ST and T, decimal degrees of freedom are supported. Computation of arbitrary moments are based in the works of Kan & Robotti (2017) and Galarza et.al. (2021,2022a,2022b). Reference for the family of selection-elliptical distributions in this package can be found in Arellano-Valle & Genton (2005).
