[R] generating correlated random variables from different distributions

2010-04-29 Thread Richard and Barbara Males
I need to generate a set of correlated random variables for a Monte Carlo simulation. The solutions I have found (http://www.stat.uiuc.edu/stat428/cndata.html, http://www.sitmo.com/doc/Generating_Correlated_Random_Numbers), using Cholesky Decomposition, seem to work only if the variables come fro
