[R] Generating a valid covariance matrix

[Robin Hankin]

Megh

corr.matrix() in the 'emulator' package can calculate
P-D variance matrices using any of a  very broad
class of methods.

Another way could be to sample from wishart distribution itself. However both cases need a valid i.e. PD covariance matrix. As I need to generate that covariance matrix only, I am not interested those two methods. Can anyone suggest me some other way out?
