Fixing Performance Issues with RcppArmadillo: A Solution for pmvnorm_cpp Function
The issue lies in the way RcppArmadillo is calling the C function from mvtnormAPI.h. Specifically, the abseps parameter has a different type and value than what’s expected by mvtnorm_C_mvtdst. The solution involves changing the types of the parameters in pmvnorm_cpp to match those expected by the C function: // [[Rcpp::export]] double pmvnorm_cpp(arma::vec bound, arma::vec lowertrivec, double abseps = 1e-3){ int n = bound.n_elem; int nu = 0; int maxpts = 25000; // default in mvtnorm: 25000 double releps = 0; // default in mvtnorm: 0 int rnd = 1; // Get/PutRNGstate double* bound_ = bound.

Fixing Theta Initialization Error in Machine Learning Models
The error is caused by the fact that theta is initialized as a column vector with a single element, but it should be initialized with a row vector or an empty matrix. In the corrected code, I initialize theta as an empty matrix of size (1,12) which can hold 12 parameters.
