rmirror_wishart: Sample from the mirror-Wishart distribution.

Description

Given scale matrix Phi and degrees of freedom nu, rmirror_wishart will sample from the mirror-Wishart distribution.

Usage

rmirror_wishart(nu, Phi)

Value

A matrix drawn from the mirror-Wishart distribution with nu

degrees of freedom and scale matrix Phi.

Arguments

nu

An integer. The degrees of freedom in the mirror-Wishart.

Phi

A matrix. The scale matrix of the mirror-Wishart.

Author

Details

\(S\) is mirror-Wishart(\(\nu,\Phi\)) if $$S = UV'VU',$$ where \(VV'\) is the lower triangular Cholesky decomposition of a Wishart(\(\nu,I\))-distributed random matrix and \(UU'\) is the upper triangular Cholesky decomposition of \(\Phi\). That is, \(V\) is lower triangular and \(U\) is upper triangular. For details on its applications, see Gerard and Hoff (2015).
