s allowed by pmst is 19. Ok, thanks a lot to both of You for help - with Your explanations, You really clarified my view of the problem (and saved me a lot of time I would've spent on digging through my own code). best wishes, Konrad Banachewicz best wishes, > > Adelchi Azzalini > &g

[R] Multivariate skew-t cdf

2006-06-02 Thread Konrad Banachewicz
Dear All, I am using the pmst function from the sn package (version 0.4-0). After inserting the example from the help page, I get non-trivial answers, so everything is fine. However, when I try to extend it to higher dimension: xi <- alpha <- x <- rep(0,27) Omega <- diag(0,27) p1 <- pmst(x, xi, Ome

P is an identity matrix 240X240, mu and alpha are vectors of zeros 240X1, nu equals 10, so alltogether You need: P <- matrix(0,244,244) diag(P) <- 1 nu <- 10 alpha <- rep(0,244) mu <- rep(0,244) require(sn) t1 <- rmst(1,mu,P, alpha, nu) t2 <- dmst(t1,mu,P,alpha,nu) > > please supply the ingredie

[R] Skewed t distribution

2006-03-28 Thread Konrad Banachewicz
Dear All, I am working with skewed-t copula in my research recently, so I needed to write an mle procedure instead of using a standard fit one; I stick to the sn package. On subsamples of the entire population that I deal with, everything is fine. However, on the total sample (difference in cross-s

dear All, I have the following problem: I need to calculate an h-step ahead forecast from a var model (estimated with a dse1 method estVARXls), which in turn will be used as an input for another model as conditioning data, so I need it as a simple, numeric matrix. No exogenous input is used. Howev

Hi, I have a time series plot to produce, yet I want the x-axis to be labelled with dates (stored on another array) and not with observation numbers. Can anyone suggest me how? Thanks. Konrad
