Hi,
I am very new to statistical computing but have a need to convert an R script to Julia to mitigate high memory usage and performance challenges. I have been able to clean up quite a bit so far but the below is a sticking point (until the next one…)
There is a call to dmnorm in the script which doesn’t appear to have a direct Julia translation (dnorm is found in [Distributions.jl](https://juliastats.org/Distributions.jl/v0.14/starting.html) as dnorm(x, mu, sig) = pdf(Normal(mu, sig), x)) but there is no [dmnorm](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/mnormt/versions/1.4-7/topics/dmnorm) equivalent that I’ve found.
Would anyone have suggestions? I’m hoping I’m missing a package reference as writing my own would be too risky on this (translation of the R would be a possibility if I knew R well enough).
Regards

Hi, you might be looking for MvNormal in Distributions.jl. Please find them [here](https://juliastats.org/Distributions.jl/stable/multivariate/#Distributions)
