ptmvnorm {tmvtnorm} | R Documentation |
Computes the distribution function of the truncated multivariate normal
distribution for arbitrary limits and correlation matrices
based on the pmvnorm()
implementation of the algorithms by Genz and Bretz.
ptmvnorm(lowerx, upperx, mean=rep(0, length(lowerx)), sigma, lower = rep(-Inf, length = length(mean)), upper = rep( Inf, length = length(mean)), maxpts = 25000, abseps = 0.001, releps = 0)
lowerx |
the vector of lower limits of length n. |
upperx |
the vector of upper limits of length n. |
mean |
the mean vector of length n. |
sigma |
the covariance matrix of dimension n. Either corr or
sigma can be specified. If sigma is given, the
problem is standardized. If neither corr nor
sigma is given, the identity matrix is used
for sigma . |
lower |
Vector of lower truncation points,\
default is rep(-Inf, length = length(mean)) . |
upper |
Vector of upper truncation points,\
default is rep( Inf, length = length(mean)) . |
maxpts |
maximum number of function values as integer. |
abseps |
absolute error tolerance as double. |
releps |
relative error tolerance as double. |
The computation of truncated multivariate normal probabilities and densities is done using conditional probabilities from the standard/untruncated multivariate normal distribution. So we refer to the documentation of the mvtnorm package and the methodology is described in Genz (1992, 1993).
The evaluated distribution function is returned with attributes
error |
estimated absolute error and |
msg |
status messages. |
