In fMultivar: Rmetrics - Modeling of Multivariate Financial Return Distributions

Bivariate Student-t Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, and random generation for the bivariate Student-t distribution.

Usage

dt2d(x, y, rho = 0, nu = 4)
pt2d(x, y, rho = 0, nu = 4)
rt2d(n, rho = 0, nu = 4)

Arguments

n	the number of random deviates to be generated, an integer value.
nu	the number of degrees of freedom, a numeric value ranging between two and infinity, by default four.
rho	the correlation parameter, a numeric value ranging between minus one and one, by default zero.
x, y	two numeric vectors defining the x and y coordinates.

Value

pt2d
returns a two column matrix of probabilities for the bivariate Student-t distribution function.

dt2d
returns a two column matrix of densities for the bivariate Student-t distribution function.

rt2d
returns a two column matrix of random deviates generated from the bivariate Student-t distribution function.

Examples

## dt2d -
   # Bivariate Student-t Density:
   x <- (-40:40)/10
   X <- grid2d(x)
   z <- dt2d(X$x, X$y, rho = 0.5, nu = 6)
   Z <- list(x = x, y = x, z = matrix(z, ncol = length(x)))
   # Perspective Plot:
   persp(Z, theta = -40, phi = 30, col = "steelblue")
   # Contour Plot:
   contour(Z)
   
## pt2d -
   # Bivariate Student-t Probability:
