Hello,

Another way would be to use ?replicate and ?colMeans.


set.seed(2511)    # Make the results reproducible

fun <- function(n){
    f <- function(){
        a <- runif(5, 1, 10)
        b <- runif(5, 10, 20)
        colMeans(cbind(a, b))
    }
    replicate(n, f())
}

fun(10)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding simulating based on runif.  Let say I have generated matrix A and B based on runif. Then I find mean for each matrix A and matrix B.  I want this process to be done let say 10 times. Anyone can help me.  Actually I want make the function that I can play around with the number of simulation process that I want. Thanks.
Eg:
a <- matrix(runif(5,1, 10))

b <- matrix(runif(5,10, 20))

c <- cbind(a,b); c

mn <- apply(c,2,mean); mn

Regards,

Here is a straight forward implementation of your code in a function with a parameter for the number simulations you want to run.

sim <- function(n){
   mn <- matrix(0,n, 2)
   for(i in 1:n) {
     a <- runif(5,1, 10)
     b <- runif(5,10, 20)
     c <- cbind(a,b)
     mn[i,] <- apply(c, 2, mean)
     }
   return(mn)
   }
# run 10 iterations
sim(10)

In your case, there doesn't seem to be a need to create a and b as matrices; vectors work just as well.  Also, several of the statements could be combined into one.  Whether this meets your needs depends on what your real world task actually is.


Hope this is helpful,

Dan
