How to create normal random variables with specific correlation between them in R?
To create normal random variables with specific correlation between them, we can use mvrnorm function of MASS package. For example, if we want to create two variables of size 10 with means equal to 2 and 4 and standard deviation of 0.5 then it can be done by using the command −
mvrnorm(10,mu=c(2,4),Sigma=matrix(c(1,0.5,0.5,1),ncol=2),empirical=TRUE)
Example1
library(MASS) X<-mvrnorm(20,mu=c(5,6),Sigma=matrix(c(1,0.97,0.97,1),ncol=2),empirical=TRUE) X
Output
