This program involves the computation of multivariate normal probabilities with arbitrary correlation matrices. It involves both the computation of singular and nonsingular probabilities. The implemented methodology is described in Genz (1992, 1993) (for algorithm GenzBretz), in Miwa et al. (2003) for algorithm Miwa (useful up to dimension 20) and Genz (2004) for the TVPACK algorithm (which covers 2- and 3-dimensional problems for semi-infinite integration regions).
Note the default algorithm GenzBretz is randomized and hence slightly depends on
.Random.seed
and that both -Inf
and +Inf
may
be specified in lower
and upper
. For more details see
pmvt
.
The multivariate normal
case is treated as a special case of pmvt
with df=0
and
univariate problems are passed to pnorm
.
The multivariate normal density and random deviates are available using
dmvnorm
and rmvnorm
.
The evaluated distribution function is returned with attributes

estimated absolute error and |

status messages. |
