Hi I have two processes which take with a certain probability (p1 and p2) x number of years to complete (age1 and age2). As soon as thge first process is completed, the second one begins. I want to calculate the time it takes for the both processes to be completed.
I have the following script which gives me the answer, butI think there must be a more elegant way of doing the calculations between the ##### Any ideas welcom, Rainer age1 <- 1:20 p1 <- dnorm(age1,10,2) age2 <- 10:30 p2 <- dnorm(age2,15,1) ###### age <- matrix(age1, ncol=length(age1), nrow=length(age2), byrow=TRUE) + age2 p <- matrix(p1, ncol=length(p1), nrow=length(p2), byrow=TRUE) + p2 p <- as.numeric(tapply(p, age, sum)) p <- p / sum(p) ##### age <- sort(unique(as.numeric(age))) plot(age, p) lines(age1, p1) lines(age2, p2) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
