integer, the number of observations to generate

mean

numeric vector, i.e. the mean values

vcov

numeric matrix, i.e. the variance-covariance matrix

Examples

##generate from univariate standardised normal:
z1 <- rmnorm(100)

##generate from bivariate, independent standardised normal:
z2 <- rmnorm(100, vcov=diag(c(1,1)))

##generate from bivariate, dependent standardised normal:
z3 <- rmnorm(100, vcov=cbind(c(1,0.3),c(0.3,1)))
