Usage

get_covmat(cormat, var)

Arguments

cormat

A symmetric matrix with desired correlations.

var

A numeric vector with variances. It must have length equal to the number of elements in the diagonal of cormat.

Value

A (co)variance matrix

Examples

# NOT RUN {
cormat <-
matrix(c(1,  0.9, -0.4,
         0.9,  1,  0.6,
        -0.4, 0.6, 1),
      nrow = 3,
      ncol = 3)
get_covmat(cormat, var =  c(16, 25, 9))
# }
# NOT RUN {
