lndMvst: Compute Log of Multivariate Student-t Density
Description
lndMvst computes the log of a Multivariate Student-t Density.
Usage
lndMvst(x, nu, mu, rooti)
Arguments
x
density ordinate
nu
d.f. parameter
mu
mu vector
rooti
inv of Cholesky root of Sigma
Value
log density value
concept
multivariate t distribution
student-t distribution
density
Warning
This routine is a utility routine that does not check the
input arguments for proper dimensions and type.
Details
$z$ $\sim$ $MVst(mu,nu,\Sigma)$
note: does not include full normalizing constant
