R help - Oct 2010 - Question

Hello.
I would be very grateful if you could help me in using R.
I need R commands of pseudo random value and qvazi (quazi) random value.
I found commands "qnorm" and "pnorm", but I am not sure that
this is the
same as I am looking for.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you
                                                Margaret

If this is about (pseudo) random number generation (yes, please use a 
sensible subject line). See ?set.seed, ?runif, ?rnorm to get started.

Margaret,

I'm not so sure about the pseudo or quasi random value, and without more
information about what you are trying to do I can't provide any more than
the following.

in your R console,

? rnorm

rnorm is the function for pulling random variables from a normal
distribution, and defaults to have mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

There are many other distributions you can pull random values from, include
uniform and gamma distributions.

? runif
? rgamma

For the other distributions, please explore the html help from the R console
to find more.

Also if you are looking at pulling a random line from a dataset consider
using the sample function

? sample
