Momentgenerating function of the multivariate normal. Can we provide a simple way to generate jointly normal random variables. Remember that the normal distribution is very important in probability theory and it shows up in many different applications. Means and variances of the length and width for the joint distribution were the same as those for individual marginal distributions, and the correlation between the width and length was be tween 0. This package uses the mvtnorm package to evaluate bivariate normal distributions.
