Bernoulli random variable with different probability
...like to generate a variable that takes 0 or 1, and each subject has
different probabilities of taking the draw.
So, which of the following code I should use ?
suppose there are 5 subjects, and their probabilities of this Bernoulli
variable is p=c(0.2, 0.9, 0.15, 0.8, 0.75)
n<-5
Ber.var <- rbimon(n,1,p) ## I doubt if this will take the first probability,
which is 0.2, but won't change for each subject ??
## or should I use
Ber.var <- sample(c(0,1), n, prob=p, replace=TRUE)
Or any suggestions on how I can check if the probability of drawing this
binary variable is based on the subje...
