dtmvnorm.marginal2 {tmvtnorm}

Bivariate marginal density functions from a Truncated Multivariate Normal distribution

Description

This function computes the bivariate marginal density function f(x_q, x_r) from a k-dimensional Truncated Multivariate Normal density function (k>=2). The bivariate marginal density is obtained by integrating out (k-2) dimensions as proposed by Tallis (1961). This function is basically an extraction of the Leppard and Tallis (1989) Fortran code for moments calculation, but extended to the double truncated case.

Usage

dtmvnorm.marginal2(xq, xr, q, r, 
 mean = rep(0, nrow(sigma)), 
 sigma = diag(length(mean)), 
 lower = rep(-Inf, length = length(mean)), 
 upper = rep(Inf, length = length(mean)),
 log = FALSE, pmvnorm.algorithm=GenzBretz())

Arguments

xq

Value x_q

xr

Value x_r

q

Index position for x_q within mean vector to calculate the bivariate marginal density for.

r

Index position for x_r within mean vector to calculate the bivariate marginal density for.

mean

Mean vector, default is rep(0, length = nrow(sigma)).

sigma

Covariance matrix, default is diag(length(mean)).

lower

Vector of lower truncation points, default is rep(-Inf, length = length(mean)).

upper

Vector of upper truncation points, default is rep( Inf, length = length(mean)).

log

Logical; if TRUE, densities d are given as log(d).

pmvnorm.algorithm

Algorithm used for pmvnorm

Details

The bivariate marginal density function f(x_q, x_r) for x \sim TN(\mu, \Sigma, a, b) and q \ne r is defined as

F_{q,r}(x_q=c_q, x_r=c_r) = \int^{b_1}_{a_1}...\int^{b_{q-1}}_{a_{q-1}}\int^{b_{q+1}}_{a_{q+1}}...\int^{b_{r-1}}_{a_{r-1}}\int^{b_{r+1}}_{a_{r+1}}...\int^{b_{k}}_{a_{k}} \varphi{_{\alpha}}_{\Sigma}(x_s, c_q, c_r) dx_s
