rMSN: Generating from Multivariate Skew-normal and Normal Random...

In CensMFM: Finite Mixture of Multivariate Censored/Missing Data

Generating from Multivariate Skew-normal and Normal Random Distributions.

Description

It generates random realizations from a multivariate Skew-normal and Normal distribution.

Usage

rMSN(n, mu, Sigma, shape)

Arguments

n	number of observations.
mu	a numeric vector of length p representing the location parameter.
Sigma	a numeric positive definite matrix with dimension pxp representing the scale parameter.
shape	a numeric vector of length p representing the skewness parameter for Skew-normal(SN) case. If shape == 0, the SN case reduces to a normal (symmetric) distribution.

Value

It returns a n x p matrix containing the generated random realizations.
