Rn_tDensity-class {multIntTestFunc}

An S4 class to represent the function \frac{\Gamma\left[(\nu+n)/2\right]}{\Gamma(\nu/2)\nu^{n/2}\pi^{n/2}\left|{\Sigma}\right|^{1/2}}\left[1+\frac{1}{\nu}({\vec{x}}-{\vec{\delta}})^{T}{\Sigma}^{-1}({\vec{x}}-{\vec{\delta}})\right]^{-(\nu+n)/2} on R^n

Description

Implementation of the function

f \colon R^n \to (0,\infty),\, \vec{x} \mapsto f(\vec{x}) = \frac{\Gamma\left[(\nu+n)/2\right]}{\Gamma(\nu/2)\nu^{n/2}\pi^{n/2}\left|{\Sigma}\right|^{1/2}}\left[1+\frac{1}{\nu}({\vec{x}}-{\vec{\delta}})^{T}{\Sigma}^{-1}({\vec{x}}-{\vec{\delta}})\right]^{-(\nu+n)/2},

where n \in \{1,2,3,\ldots\} is the dimension of the integration domain R^n = \times_{i=1}^n R. In this case the integral is know to be

\int_{R^n} f(\vec{x}) d\vec{x} = 1.

Details

The instance needs to be created with four parameters representing the dimension n, the location vector \vec{\delta}, the variance-covariance matrix \Sigma which needs to be symmetric positive definite and the degrees of freedom parameter \nu.

Slots

dim

An integer that captures the dimension

delta

A vector of size dim with real entries.

sigma

A matrix of size dim x dim that is symmetric positive definite.

df

A positive numerical value representing the degrees of freedom.
