rmatrixCHIIkind2: Sampler of the matrix variate type II confluent...

In matrixsampling: Simulations of Matrix Variate Distributions

Description

Samples the matrix variate type II confluent hypergeometric kind two distribution.

Usage

rmatrixCHIIkind2(n, nu, alpha, beta, theta = 1, p)

Arguments

n	sample size, a positive integer
nu	shape parameter, a positive number; if nu < (p-1)/2, then nu must be a half integer
alpha, beta	shape parameters; alpha > (p-1)/2, beta < nu + 1
theta	scale parameter, a positive number
p	dimension (order of the sampled matrices), an integer greater than or equal to one

Value

A numeric three-dimensional array; simulations are stacked along the third dimension.

Examples

nu <- 5; alpha <- 13; beta <- 4; theta <- 2; p <- 2
sims <- rmatrixCHIIkind2(50000, nu, alpha, beta, theta, p)
# simulations of the trace
trsims <- apply(sims, 3, function(X) sum(diag(X)))
mean(trsims)
p * theta * nu * (nu+(p+1)/2-beta) / (alpha+nu+(p+1)/2-beta)
