multvardiv

The multvardiv packages replaces the mggd, mcauchyd and mstudentd packages.

This package provides tools for multivariate probability distributions:

For each of these probability distributions, some functions are available to compute the divergence between two distributions:

And some functions for the manipulation of probability distributions: + Probability density + Parameter estimation + Sample simulation + Density plot (bivariate distribution)

Installation

Install from the repository, using the devtools package:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_git("https://forgemia.inra.fr/imhorphen/multvardiv")
