For what it is worth, I would have thought that expressing the lag coefficients in a B-spline expansion would be preferable to going back to Almon approach. This would give a relatively simple lm() application. url:www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/my.htmlRoger Koenker email [EMAIL

[R] excluding libraries at configure

2003-11-26 Thread Roger Koenker
lots of stuff from the prior jaguar installation, and ./configure wants to include -L/sw/lib. So my question is this: is there way to tell configure politely to not look in /sw/lib? Or is there another suggestion entirely? url:www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/my.htmlRoger Koenker email

If you have a dominating density, ie another density, say g, such that cg(x)f(x) for some coo and all x, then you can easily do this by rejection. See, e.g. Luc Devroye's Springer book, which is the bible on this sort of thing url:www.econ.uiuc.edu Roger Koenker Dept
