Re: [R] Beginning Eigen System question.

Eigenvectors are unique only up to a constant factor, so any scalar multiple of an eigenvector is also an eigenvector. By convention, most (all) packages normalize the eigenvectors such that their norm is 1. Therefore, eigenvectors are unique up to their sign, i.e. if (+x) is an eigenvector

The main problem is that your function is not vectorized. Here is one solution: require(mvtnorm) f=function(x){ sapply(x, function(y) {dmvnorm(c(0.6, 0.8), mean=c(0.75, 0.75/y))*dnorm(y, mean=0.6, sd=0.15)}) } integrate(f, lower=-Inf, upper=Inf) 0.1314427 with absolute error 4e-05 Hope
