\title{Simulate from a Multivariate Normal Distribution}
\description{
Simulate from a multiviate normal distribution
}
\usage{
rmvnorm(n, mu=NULL, sigma=NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{n}{Number of vectors to simulate}
\item{mu}{mean vector}
\item{sigma}{covariance matrix, assumed symmetric and nonnegative definite}
}
\value{
An \eqn{n \times d}{n x d} matrix in which each row is an independently
generated realization from the desired multivariate normal distribution
}
\details{
This function uses an \code{\link{eigen}} decomposition assuming \code{sigma} is symmetric.
In particular, the upper triangle of \code{sigma} is ignored.
