Hi,

This is not a HW problem, sadly: I was last in a classroom 30 years ago,
and can no longer run off to the instructor :-(

I apologize but I cut and paste the wrong snippet earlier and made a typo in doing so, but the result is the same with the more appropriate snippet.

require(mvtnorm)
require(ggplot2)
set.seed(1234)
xx <- data.frame(rmvt(100, df = c(13, 13)))

v <- ggplot(data = xx, aes(x = X1, y = X2, z = dmvt, df = c(13,13)))
v + geom_contour()

Don't know how to automatically pick scale for object of type function.
Defaulting to continuous.
Error: Aesthetics must be either length 1 or the same as the data (100): x,
y, z, df

I do not understand how to put in a function as an argument to
geom_contour() and the examples in the help fileor in the link that Ulrik sent are not very helpful to me. Hence, I was asking for some examples that
might be helpful.

I guess the answer is to make a second dataset that is regular and make the
function estimate that, but how do I combine this?

TIA.
BFD

That's not what I get:

> v <- ggplot(faithfuld, aes(waiting, eruptions, z = drmvt, df = c(13,13)))
> v + geom_contour()
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : object 'drmvt' not found
>

> str(faithfuld)
Classes ‘tbl_df’, ‘tbl’ and 'data.frame': 5625 obs. of 3 variables:
 $ eruptions: num  1.6 1.65 1.69 1.74 1.79 ...
 $ waiting  : num  43 43 43 43 43 43 43 43 43 43 ...
 $ density  : num  0.00322 0.00384 0.00444 0.00498 0.00542 ...

So you are apparently trying to throw together code and data that you
don't understand. The data you are using is already a density estimate
designed to simply be plotted. It is not the original data. Furthermore you
are passing drmvt that is apparently not in either the mvtnorm nor the
ggplot2 packages.

You should determine where that function is and then determine how to do a
2d estimate on the original data. I'm guessing this is homework so not
inclined to offer a complete solution.
