I have the code for the bivariate Gaussian copula. It is written with for-loops, it works, but I wonder if there is a way to vectorize the function. I don't see how outer() can be used in this case, but maybe one can use mapply() or Vectorize() in some way? Could anyone help me, please?
## Density of Gauss Copula rho <- 0.5 #corr R <- rbind(c(1,rho),c(rho,1)) #vcov matrix id <- diag(2) gauss <- matrix(0,99,99) u <- seq(0.01, 0.99, by=0.01) for(i in 1:99){ for(j in 1:99){ xx <- t(t(c(qnorm(u[i]), qnorm(u[j])))) gauss[i,j] <- 1/sqrt(1-rho^2)*exp(-0.5*t(xx)%*%(solve(R)-id)%*%xx) } } persp(u, u, gauss, xlab="x1", ylab="x2", zlab="Density of Gauss Copula", theta=320, phi=20, col="palegreen", ticktype="detailed") -- Sergei ______________________________________________ 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.
