SampleGC: Gram-Charlier approximation to a multivariate density

Description

Provides the truncated Gram-Charlier approximation to a multivariate density. Approximation can be up to the first k=8 cumulants.

Usage

SampleGC(X, k = 4, cum = NULL)

Value

The vector of the Gram-Charlier density evaluated at X

Arguments

X

A matrix of d-variate data

k

the order of the approximation, by default set to 4; (k must not be smaller than 3 or greater than 8)

cum

if NULL (default) the cumulant vector is estimated from X. If cum is provided no estimation of cumulants is performed.
