Hi i have a question about "copula" package ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/copula/copula.pdf , http://www.jstatsoft.org/v21/i04/paper )
Using copulas, I want to generate three random vectors V1, V2 and V3, where both pairs (V1, V2) and (V1,V3) have the same dependency structure, defined by copula. To give an example: I can generate two correlated vectors Va and Vb: myMvd <- mvdc(copula = gaussianCopula(0.50), margins = c("norm", "norm" ), paramMargins = list(list(mean = 0, sd = 2), list(mean = 0, sd = 2) ) x.samp <- rmvdc(x, 100) Va = x.samp[,1] Vb = x.samp[,2] Doing it again, I will obtain ... Vc = x.samp[,1] Vd = x.samp[,2] What I would like to have is that Va = Vc. After generating Va, I would like to "fix" it somehow (?), so Vb and Vdare generated with respect to already generated Va. Is it possible? -- j ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
