Hi, I am very new to R and cannot seem to find how it generates random numbers. I am currently involved with a project that requires a random number generator and have developed one. I am, however, unsure of just how random it is and was wanting to compare my generator with that of R (as well as others). If anyone knows how the random numbers are generated or have any ideas on testing or

:D Hi, I installed wine on ubuntu 10.10 to run a windows program as reported here (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22133&iTestingId=59338). After few trails I decided to reinstall Wine (now version 1.3.8 ), to configure it as instructed by the guide, and than to install again the windows application, Birthday Reminder. At present the application doesn't

Dear all, Is there a test in R for the randomness of a sequence of observations (e.g. to test the random number generator)? Specifically I am looking for autocorrelations which are not necessarily linear in nature, which the acf function does not seem to be flexible enough to detect as it tests for linear autocorrelation. Thanks in advance, Paul.

Hi, I tried to calculate the formula for the birthday problem (the probability that at least two people out of a group of n people share the same birthday) But the factorial-function allows me only to calculate factorials up to 170. So is there a way to push that limit? to solve this formula: (factorial(365) / factorial((365-23))) / (365^23) (n=23)

Hi guys, I''m having problems with my app. First of all, I created a date_select with the code: <%= date_select(''contact'', ''birthday'', :order => [''day'',''month'',''year'']) %> In the contacts table, I create a date field: birthday DATE When I save the values goes wrong into the database.

:) Hi experts, hi dimesio Few days ago Wine/Birthday Reminders stopped to run. I suppose that it is a consequence of an automatic updating of Ubuntu and I ask an advice on the best way to solve the issue. Consider that: if I run the application clicking on it, as usual, I see the system working and stopping after tens of seconds, If I run the application by console, this is the code that I get

hello guys, it''s possible pass two params in a GET request to the same location in the database? example: two fields in view: text_field: persons,: Birthday: id => one text_field: persons,: Birthday: id => two in the controller using params [: one] and params [: two] ? thank''s. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

Hello all, Yesterday I moved using the mv command in Redhat 7.2 ext3 file system to move to /tmp my /mnt/win98/"My Pictures" directory to tmp. The command executed normally, and I actually verified that the subdir was created in /tmp and the files were there in /tmp/"My Pictures" I was doing this to temporarily free space on my vfat windows 98 partition. When I went

Hi, subject more or less says it all. I freely admit to not having bothered to find some of the online papers about method of testing the quality of random number generators -- but in an idle moment I wondered what to expect from something like the following: randa<-runif(1000) randb<-runif(1000) t.test(randa,randb)$p.value var.test(randa,randb)$p.value [repeat ad nauseum] Is the

Dear all, Recently I am generating large random samples (10M) and any duplicated numbers are not desired. We tried several RNGs in R and found Wichmann-Hill did not produce duplications. The duplication problem is the interesting birthday problem. If there are M possible numbers, randomly draw N numbers from them, the average number of dupilcations D = N(N-1)/2/M. For Knuth-TAOCP and

I''m sure I''m missing something dumb but I cannot get Form.serialize to work. I have an alert in the function as a debug to show me what''s supposed to be the serialized line of values but it always shows nothing. Can somebody show me what I''m doing wrong?

Hi there, I have written a function to calculate factorials as follows: fact <- function(x) { recurse <- x > 1 x[!recurse] <- 1 if( any(recurse) ) { y <- x[recurse] x[recurse] <- y * fact( y - 1 ) } x } I want to be able to do the famous birthday problem, which will involve the computation of 365!, however it shall get cancelled

I have two subnets in may LAN 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. Both subnets go out to the Internet through a Linux box acting as a gateway, so the gateway has one interface in each subnet (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1). In both subnets I have Windows and Linux machines and I want to configure SMB networking using a workgroup (not a domain), so one workgroup for more than one subnet. I know that

Hello NG, I am using Wine 20011108 (Debian Woody) and the most important programs are running fine with it. I configured Wine with the winesetup-tool. In general sound is running (e.g. with Winamp). And of course, sound runs with Linux (KDE). But some programs seems to have some probems. I am running a birthday reminder, which gives an notification sound in case of a birthday. But this does

Hi Guys, Does anyone have knowledge about max number of conference rooms, and max number of conference callers in one room? Thank you so much. jintwo __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/

Recent news articles concerning an article from The Lancet with fabricated data indicate that in the sample containing some 900 or so patients, more than 200 had the same birthday. I was curious and tried out the p and q birthday functions but pbirthday could not handle 250 coincidences with n = 1000. The calculation of upper prior to using uniroot produces NaN, upper<-min(n^k/(c^(k-1)),1)

It was one year ago today that I released a patch to get OpenSSH compiling on Linux. I had no idea just how much trouble releasing that patch would get me into :) Within days I was inundated with patches, improvements and portability enhancements - contributions which have made portable OpenSSH the success it is today. So allow me to thank the current developers and all of you who have

OK I'm confused. Can machines be in ou=Computers,dc=somewhere,dc=net ? Every thing works fine if I configure so that machine accounts are created under ou=Users. If configured for machines to be in ou=Computers, I can't add a new machine. Error returned is "The user name could not be found." This is from the w2k machine itself. The release notes for 3.0.11 seem to say adding
