[R] Multivariate Sampling

2004-11-15 Thread stefan . albrecht
Dear all, I am looking for routines which allow multi-variate sampling from non-normal distributions (loglogistic) given correlations among the variables. Unfortunately, I could not find a suitable package for R. Does anybody know one? Many thanks and best regards, Stefan Albrecht

Dr. Bolker I just wrote it yesterday. Thank you anyway. However do you have some ideas about sampling from restricted beta distribution. say from beta(a, b) but value between m and n. Now I generate lots of samples from beta(a, b) and then choose value between m and n, but it is very

R-devel already contains rmultinom. I don't see why rejection sampling on (m, n) should be slow unless m-n is very small or far out in the tails, in which case why do you want this? In any case, inversion will be a perfectly adequate method as you have pbeta and qbeta. On Mon, 17 Feb 2003, Peng

Hi Thanks for replying my question! What really interested me is that the package providing some complex form sampling, such as wishart, multinomial, dirichlet. And others for example conditional beta distribution confining the random variable in the interval (a, b). Since these concept are
