How To Install r-cran-tmvnsim on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-tmvnsim on Kali Linux. r-cran-tmvnsim is GNU R package for truncated multivariate normal simulation

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-tmvnsim on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-tmvnsim

r-cran-tmvnsim is:

The package offers importance sampling from the truncated multivariate normal using the GHK (Geweke-Hajivassiliou-Keane) simulator. Unlike Gibbs sampling which can get stuck in one truncation sub-region depending on initial values, this package allows truncation based on disjoint regions that are created by truncation of absolute values. The GHK algorithm uses simple Cholesky transformation followed by recursive simulation of univariate truncated normals hence there are also no convergence issues. Importance sample is returned along with sampling weights, based on which, one can calculate integrals over truncated regions for multivariate normals.

There are three methods to install r-cran-tmvnsim on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install r-cran-tmvnsim Using apt-get
