\alias{sample_sphere_volume}
\title{Sample vectors uniformly from the volume of a sphere}
\usage{
sample_sphere_volume(dim, n = 1, radius = 1, positive = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{dim}{Integer scalar, the dimension of the random vectors.}
\item{n}{Integer scalar, the sample size.}
\item{radius}{Numeric scalar, the radius of the sphere to sample.}
\item{positive}{Logical scalar, whether to sample from the positive orthant
of the sphere.}
}
\value{
A \code{dim} (length of the \code{alpha} vector for
\code{sample_dirichlet()}) times \code{n} matrix, whose columns are the sample
vectors.
}
\description{
Sample finite-dimensional vectors to use as latent position vectors in
random dot product graphs
}
\details{
\code{sample_sphere_volume()} generates uniform samples from \eqn{S^{dim-1}}
(the \code{(dim-1)}-sphere) i.e. the Euclidean norm of the samples is
smaller or equal to \code{radius}.
}
\examples{
lpvs.sph.vol <- sample_sphere_volume(dim = 10, n = 20, radius = 1)
RDP.graph.4 <- sample_dot_product(lpvs.sph.vol)
vec.norm <- apply(lpvs.sph.vol, 2, function(x) {
sum(x^2)
})
vec.norm
