Generating Random Numbers from Multivariate Normal Distributions with Non-Positive Definite Covariance Matrices in R
The problem lies in the fact that the covariance matrix V is not positive definite. This can be verified by computing the eigenvalues of V, which are all negative except for one, indicating that V does not meet the necessary condition for a multivariate normal distribution. To generate random numbers from a multivariate normal distribution with a non-positive definite covariance matrix, you have to decide whether to truncate components corresponding to negative eigenvalues (which is what mvtnorm::rmvnorm() does by default) or to throw an error.
