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$head_ct <-sum(sample(0:1,200,repl=TRUE));
/* */ is not a valid comment in R, and you don't need ';' either :)
Just try evaluating the right hand side so that the R interpreter
prints the result. This is just calling sample once, and therefore
you only get one number, 85 in your case.
d;
exp_num head_ct
1 1 85
2 2 85
3 3 85 /* the same scalar value is
applied to all the rows */
So I tried using "within", and "for", and making the "sum( " as a
function, and I end up with the same...I get the same constant value. But
what I want of course is different "samples"....
Look at ?replicate or just use ?rbinom directly
d <-data.frame(exp_num = 1:3)
d$head_ct <- rbinom(nrow(d), 200, prob = 0.5)
