rmvbin | R Documentation |
Creates correlated multivariate binary random variables by thresholding a normal distribution. The correlations of the components can be specified either as common probabilities, correlation matrix of the binary distribution, or covariance matrix of the normal distribution.
rmvbin(n, margprob, commonprob=diag(margprob),
bincorr=diag(length(margprob)),
sigma=diag(length(margprob)),
colnames=NULL, simulvals=NULL)
n |
number of observations. |
margprob |
margin probabilities that the components are 1. |
commonprob |
matrix of probabilities that components |
bincorr |
matrix of binary correlations. |
sigma |
covariance matrix for the normal distribution. |
colnames |
vector of column names for the resulting observation matrix. |
simulvals |
result from |
Only one of the arguments commonprob
, bincorr
and
sigma
may be specified. Default are uncorrelated components.
n
samples from a multivariate normal distribution with mean and
variance chosen in order to get the desired margin and common
probabilities are sampled. Negative values are converted to 0,
positive values to 1.

## uncorrelated columns:
rmvbin(10, margprob=c(0.3,0.9))
## correlated columns
m <- cbind(c(1/2,1/5,1/6),c(1/5,1/2,1/6),c(1/6,1/6,1/2))
rmvbin(10,commonprob=m)
## same as the second example, but faster if the same probabilities are
## used repeatedly (commonprob2sigma rather slow)
sigma <- commonprob2sigma(m)
rmvbin(10,margprob=diag(m),sigma=sigma)
