There is a problem with `rpois'. It does seem to take care about the order of the arguments. This is an example: > rpois(n=1,lambda=2) [1] 3 > rpois(lambda=2,n=1) [1] 2 0 It obviously uses the first argument as the number of samples to be drawn, which is wrong. I used Version 0.49 Beta (April 23, 1997). Fredrik

Hello! I need the Code of the functions runif and rexp. Where can I get them? Can You help me? I thank you for an answer! bye Ilka --

Dear all, while looking for some inspiration of how to organise some code, I studied the code of random.c and noticed that for distributions with 2 or 3 parameters the user is not warned if NAs are created while such a warning is issued for distributions with 1 parameter. E.g: R version 2.7.0 Under development (unstable) (2008-02-29 r44639) [...] > rexp(2, rate=Inf) [1] NaN NaN Warning
