commonprob2sigma | R Documentation |
Computes a covariance matrix for a normal distribution which
corresponds to a binary distribution with marginal probabilities given
by diag(commonprob)
and pairwise probabilities given by
commonprob
.
For the simulations the values of simulvals
are used.
If a non-valid covariance matrix is the result, the program stops with an error in the case of NA arguments and yields are warning message if the matrix is not positive definite.

A covariance matrix is returned with the same dimensions as
