mvrnorm: Multivariate Normal distribution sampler

Description

Sampler derived using the eigendecomposition of the covariance matrix Sigma. The function uses the Armadillo random normal generator

Usage

mvrnorm(n, mu, Sigma)

Value

an n sample from a multivariate Normal distribution

Arguments

n

sample size

mu

mean vector. Will set the dimension

Sigma

a square covariance matrix, of same dimension as mu. No sanity check is performed to validate that the matrix is positive definite, so use at own risk

Examples

Run this code
mvrnorm(n = 10, mu = c(0,2), Sigma = diag(2))
