Hi: It's polite to mention from which package you extract certain functions. For example, the function dmvnorm() exists in at least the following packages (following a search from the sos package): mixtools, emdbook, klaR and mvtnorm, not to mention related functions in three other packages. Since I can't discern which package your dmvnorm() comes from, I am loath to test your code.
However, if the objective is to apply the MV.MSE function to all elements of the list EP, then try (untested) EPres <- lapply(EP, function(x) MV.MSE(10, x, c(.25, .25), diag(c(1, 2)))) HTH, Dennis On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 3:01 PM, meddee <meddee1...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have the following function, a MSE calc based on some Multivariate normals: > > MV.MSE<-function(n,EP,X,S){ > (dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),I+S+EP)-dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),I+S))^2 > + > 1/n*(dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),1+S+EP/2)*det(4*pi*EP)^-.5- > (dmvnorm(X,mean=rep(0,2),I+S+EP ))^2)} > > I can get the MV.MSE for given values of the function e.g > MV.MSE(10,diag(0.5,2),c(.25,.25),diag(1,2)) > > But I would like to how MV.MSE varies for different EP matrices.
