hi all

i need your help to simulate multivariate normal data with 10 var. when i  run this code i receive errors .

%let N = 1000;                               /* size of each sample */

/* Multivariate normal data */

proc iml;

/* specify the mean and covariance of the population */

Mean = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};

Cov = {32.0897 13.1740 -4.8130 -2.9651 6.0853 2.2018 2.6580 3.4379 -1.8501 -7.4523

       13.1740 18.3444 -5.2602 -9.4638 3.0731 2.1855 3.9010 3.0226 -3.5204 -4.3176

       2.6580 3.9010 -0.7576 -12.3116 0.5127 2.9060 14.5232 1.7516 -4.8958 1.2902

       3.4379 3.0226  -2.9107 -2.4223 0.9321 -1.2132 1.7516 6.6480 -0.7609 2.7944

call randseed(4321); 

X = RandNormal(&N, Mean, Cov);               /* 1000 x 10 matrix     */

/* check the sample mean and sample covariance */

SampleMean = mean(X);                        /* mean of each column */

SampleCov =  cov(X);                         /* sample covariance   */

/* print results */

c = "x1":"x10";

print (X[1:,1000]);

print SampleMean[colname=c];

print SampleCov[colname=c rowname=c];

/* write SAS/IML matrix to SAS data set for plotting */

create MVN from X[colname=c];  append from X;  close MVN;

quit;

hi all

i solved this problem, i forget the comma for covariance matrix.
