Usage

mvrandt(l, u, Sig, df, n, mu = NULL)

Arguments

l	lower bound for truncation (infinite values allowed)
u	upper bound for truncation
Sig	covariance matrix
df	degrees of freedom
n	sample size
mu	location parameter

Value

Examples

## Not run: 
d <- 60L; n <- 1e3;
Sig <- 0.9 * matrix(1, d, d) + 0.1 * diag(d);
l <- (1:d)/d * 4; u <- l+2; df <- 10;
X <- mvrandt(l,u,Sig,df,n)
stopifnot(all(X>l))
stopifnot(all(X<u))
