Hi All,
Why would calls to dnorm and dmvnorm return values that are above 1? For
example,
dnorm(0.3,mean=0, sd=0.1)
[1] 3.989423
This is happening on two different installations of R that I have.
Thank you.

well, nobody said that the density must be smaller than 1, right? :-)
it's just the value of the normal density function at the point you
asked. you may try doing that by hand and, with the correct math,
you'll get the same thing.

Because dnorm gives you the density function, whose integral is the
distribution function, which is likely

Yes, you are right. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I should have thought of dnorm as a straing return from the
normal density formula.
