sample.wl
generates a sample of specified size n
from the target density funciton (up to a normalizing constant) based on the Wang-Lee algorithm

wl (Wang-Lee), fw (Fu-Wang) |
nc |
a positive integer, the number of contours. See ‘Details’. |
n |
a non-negative integer, the desired sample size. |
wconst |
a real number between 0 and 1. See ‘Details’. |
X
has the number of rows equals to the number of discrete base points. In each row, the first element contians the funcitonal value of the target density and the rest elements are the coordinates at which the density is evaluated.
wconst
is a constant for adjusting the volumn of the last contour.
sample.wl
gives the drawn sample as a data.frame
with number of rows equals the specified size n
and number of columns equals ncol(x)-1
