Hi:

Does Ellipse and dataellipse function in R produce the same ellipse? I
wanted to see how the radius for the Ellipse function in R calculated. Also
what is the var-covariance matrix, if any, assumed for the dataellipse
function? Heres an example of the code where I am generating Multivariate
normal data and creating ellipse using the 2 functions:


library(car)
  library(mvtnorm)

  mu = c(0,0)
  sigma = matrix(c(20,0,0,45),nrow=2)

  z = rmvnorm(10000,mu,sqrt(sigma))

  dataEllipse(z,levels=.95)
  car::ellipse(mu, sigma*qchisq(.05,2), col="blue", radius=sqrt(2 *
qf(.975, 2, 9998)) )

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Anamika
