Hi guys Given a exponential curve, is there any function on r that can generate exponential distributed random numbers? in General I want an function that can transform one probability distribution into another??

Hi, Does anybody know a function to simulate a Markov chain given a probability transition matrix and an initial state ? Thanks.

Thank you very much Rob for your answer. I have some difficulties to understand how to apply my agent-based model to each parameter combination generated by the LHS, in particular when parameters are defined by probability distributions. Indeed, I have multiple parameters in my model: parameters which are defined by a single value (like ?temperature", "pressure?) and parameters which are

Hallo I would appreciate any help with the following. Problem: Suppose A, B and C are independent U(0,1) random variables. What is the probability that A(x^2) + Bx + C has real roots? I have done the theoretical work and obtained an answer of 1/9 = 0.1111. Now I want to show my students to get this in R with simulation. Below are two attemps, both giving the answer to be about 0.26. Could

Hi, this is my first time using R. I want to simulate the following process: "in a population of size N, there are i individuals bearing genotype A, the number of those bearing A is j in the next generation, which following a binominal distribution (choose j from 2*N, the p is i/2*N), to plot the probability of the next generations, my script is as follows. It cannot run successfully,

Hello, My name is Maria, MBA student in Sanfransisco, USA. In my credit scoring class, I have hard time making "transition matrix", which explains probability especially in relation to "Markov chain model". It is regarding people's monthly credit payment behavior. Does R have function to caculate it? I am actually a novice in using 'R'. Please help me!!! Maria

Hi R help list I'm simulating logistic regression data with a specified odds ratio (beta) and have a problem/unexpected behaviour that occurs. The datasets includes a lognormal exposure and diseased and healthy subjects. Here is my loop: ors <- vector() for(i in 1:200){ # First, I create a vector with a lognormally distributed exposure: n <- 10000 # number of study subjects

Dear friends, If I have a table like this, first row A B C D ... are different levels of the variable, first column 0 1 2 4 ... are the levels of the "numbers", the numbers inside the table are the probabilities of the "number" occuring. A B C D ... 0 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.05 1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.2 2 0.02 0.2 0 0.1 4 0.3 0.01 0.01

Hi list, I have a group of data. It looks like they follow a exponential distribution. In R, how can I esimate lamda, that is the rate in pexp, of the distribution and can I use Kolmogorov-Smirnov for hypothesis testing in such a situation? I have read the "8.2 Examing the distribution of a set of data" of "An Introduction to R" but I did not find any clues on this issue.

Dear List, I have a couple of (~200) 3x3 transition probability matrices (ie each defines a Markov chain). They are all estimated from the same underlying process, so it ie meaningful to take their elemetwise mean and standard deviation. [1] First question: supposing that they are given in a list l, how do I get their elementwise mean and standard deviation? Fortunately, the mean of trans. prob.

dear list I use runif to generate a ramdom number between min and max runif(n, min=0, max=1) however , the syntaxe of rexp does not allow that rexp(n, rate = 1) and it generate a number with the corresponding rate. The question is: how to generate a number between min and max using rexp(). Regards -- PhD candidate in Computer Science Address 3 avenue lamine, cité ezzahra, Sousse 4000

Dear all, Using rmultinom() in a stochastic model, I found this function returns an error message 'NA in probability' for an infinite probability. Maybe, a more precise message will be helpful when debugging. > rmultinom(1, 3:5, c(1/2, 1/3, Inf)) Error in rmultinom(1, 3:5, c(1/2, 1/3, Inf)) : NA in probability vector > rmultinom(1, 3:5, c(1/2, 1/3, NA)) Error in rmultinom(1,

Hello, Our professor asked us to do probability plotting using weibull paper, exponential paper, normal, log-normal paper, etc. I know I can create Q-Q plot for normal dist. and see if all te points are on one line. How do I go about other distributions? I tried generating different samples and use the general qq function. However, I could not do it since I don't know the population

Hi, R-helpers, I'm trying to use R to do a Monte Carlo simulation and need the help. What I have is a matrix that consists of the probabilities for the persons to choose zones. For example, in the matrix shown below, each column represents a person, and each row represents a zone. So, the probability that the first person will choose the 2nd zone is 30%. 25% 30% 10% 30% 20% 0% 20% 50% 60%

Dear r users, I have 4 variables x1,x2,x3,x4 and each one has two levels, for example Y and N. For x1: prob(Y)=0.6, prob(N)=0.4; For x2: prob(Y)=0.5, prob(N)=0.5; For x3: prob(Y)=0.8, prob(N)=0.2; For x4: prob(Y)=0.9, prob(N)=0.1; Therefore, the sample space for (x1, x2, x3, x4)={YYYY, YYYN, YYNY,......} (16 possible combination) and the corresponding probabilities are {(0.6)(0.5)(0.8)(0.9),

I think you should take this conversation private or seek local statistical expertise. This is about strategies for analysis, not about programming in R.
