rdirichlet

This function simulates a sample from
a Dirichlet distribution on the \(k\) dimensional simplex with
arbitrary parameters.
The simulation is based on a renormalised vector of gamma variates.

Dirichlet distribution

random generation

Allows the reenactment of the R programs used in
the book Bayesian Essentials with R without further programming.
R code being available as well, they can be modified by the user
to conduct one's own simulations.
