anMC

CRAN status

anMC is a R package to efficiently compute orthant probabilities of high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. The method is applied to compute conservative estimates of excursion sets of functions under Gaussian random field priors. This is an upgrade on the previously existent package ConservativeEstimates. See the paper Azzimonti, D. and Ginsbourger D. (2018) for more details.

Features

The package main functions are:

Installation

To install the latest version of the package run the following code from a R console:

if (!require("devtools"))
