mvst: Multivariate student t distribution

In kuperov/bdist: Extra distributions for Bayesian analysis

Description

The pdf of the Student t distribution is given in Gelman et al (2014, p.578):

(x | μ, σ, ν) = \frac{γ≤ft(\frac{ν+d}{2}\right)}{γ(\frac{ν}{2})ν^{d/2}π^{d/2}}≤ft|Σ\right|^{-1/2}≤ft(1 + \frac{1}{ν}(x-μ)'Σ^{-1}(x-μ)\right)^{-\frac{ν+d}{2}}

Usage

dmvst(x, nu, mu, Sigma, tol = 1e-06)

rmvst(n, nu, mu, Sigma, tol = 1e-06)

Arguments

x	point at which to calculate ordinate of multivariate t density
nu	degrees of freedom, a scalar
mu	location, a numeric vector of length d
Sigma	scale, a symmetric dxd positive definite matrix
tol	tolerance for checking positive definiteness
n	number of random deviates to draw

Value

'mvdst' gives the density and 'mvrst' generates random deviates.
