[R] How to calculate random matrices from the multivariate normal distribution

2005-06-17 Thread Juan Carlos Quiroz Espinosa
Hi R users,

I am trying to calculate MonteCarlo from the multivariate normal
distribution. I am utilizing the parameters vector (how mean) and
covariance matrix (or 1/hessian) how input.  

Can anyone provide guidance on how I could do this?

Thank you.

You probably want the mvrnorm function from the MASS package.

  RSiteSearch(random multivariate normal) produced 82 hits, the 
fourth of which was for multivariate normal distribution, function 
pmvnorm in library mvtnorm, which also includes a function rmvorm, that 
should do what you want.

  Buena suerte.  spencer graves
