Calculating probability contours using qmvnorm
The inverse problem to the calculation of cumulative probability is as follows: for a given a probability \(p\) calculate the contour that contains \(p\) proportion of the total volume of the density. This contour is the same as the \(p^{th}\) quantile of the distribution. The qmvnorm() function provides the tools to perform the above calculations.
