R: Generating function for mulitvariate discrete distribution

EmpiricalMVDistribution {distrEx} | R Documentation

## Generating function for mulitvariate discrete distribution

### Description

Generates an object of class `"DiscreteMVDistribution"`.

### Usage

    EmpiricalMVDistribution(data, Symmetry = NoSymmetry())

### 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 `DiscreteDistribution`.

Typical usages are

        EmpiricalMVDistribution(data)

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

### Value

Object of class `"DiscreteMVDistribution"`

### Examples

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

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