I am trying a simple toin coss simulation, of say 200 coin tosses. The idea is to have a data frame like so: Experiment# Number_Of_Heads 1 104 2 96 3 101
So I do: d <-data.frame(exp_num=c(1,2,3)); /* Just 3 experiments to begin with */ d$head_ct <-sum(sample(0:1,200,repl=TRUE)); d; exp_num head_ct 1 1 85 2 2 85 3 3 85 /* the same scalar value is applied to all the rows */ So I tried using "within", and "for", and making the "sum( " as a function, and I end up with the same...I get the same constant value. But what I want of course is different "samples".... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Coin-Toss-Simulation-tp2994088p2994088.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
