EllCopSim: Simulation from an elliptical copula model

Description

Simulation from an elliptical copula model

Usage

EllCopSim(n, d, grid, g_d, A = diag(d), genR = list(method = "pinv"))

Value

a matrix of size (n,d) with n observations of the d-dimensional elliptical copula.

Arguments

n

number of observations.

d

dimension of X.

grid

grid on which values of density generator are known.

g_d

vector of values of the density generator on the grid.

A

square-root of the correlation matrix of X.

genR

additional arguments for the generation of the squared radius. It must be a list with a component method:

• If genR$method == "pinv", the radius is generated using the function Runuran::pinv.new().

• If genR$method == "MH", the generation is done using the Metropolis-Hasting algorithm, with a N(0,1) move at each step.
