EmpiricalMVDistribution: Generating function for mulitvariate discrete distribution

Description

Generates an object of class "DiscreteMVDistribution".

Usage

EmpiricalMVDistribution(data, Symmetry = NoSymmetry())

Value

Object of class "DiscreteMVDistribution"

Arguments

data

numeric matrix with data where the rows are interpreted as observations.

Symmetry

you may help R in calculations if you tell it whether the distribution is non-symmetric (default) or symmetric with respect to a center.

Details

The function is a simple utility function providing a wrapper to the generating function DiscreteMVDistribution.

Typical usages are

    EmpiricalMVDistribution(data)
  

Identical rows are collapsed to unique support values. If prob is missing, all elements in supp are equally weighted.

Examples

## generate some data
X <- matrix(rnorm(50), ncol = 5)

## empirical distribution of X
D1 <- EmpiricalMVDistribution(data = X)
support(D1)
r(D1)(10)
