R users,I encountered some error message when trying a univariate integration involving a bivariate normal CDF with mean MU and variance matrix Sigma. Below are my code:MU=c(1,3)
Sigma=matrix(c(1,0.5,0.5,1.5),2,2)
integrand=function(xx,y=1,MU=MU,Sigma=Sigma)
  {        
    dnorm(xx,mean=MU[1],sd=sqrt(Sigma[1,1]))*pmvnorm(lower=c(-Inf,-Inf),upper=c(xx,y),mean=MU,sigma=Sigma)

  }
  integrate(integrand,y=1,MU=MU,Sigma=Sigma,lower=-Inf,upper=Inf,subdivisions=1000)gave : Error in checkmvArgs(lower = lower, upper = upper, mean = mean, corr = corr, : ‘diag(sigma)’ and ‘lower’ are of different length.The error came from the pmvnorm() part. I will appreciate any hints to this error.> sessionInfo()
