First of all: R comments start with # and not // 1. t comes from the argument of the function object returned when <name> has the value clayton clayton = function(t, theta) ####where is t comming from, what is phi inverse { (1 + t)^(-1/theta) } 2. In phi.inverse <- switch(....) the value returned by the switch expression is assigned to phi.inverse. The switch expression appears to return a function object depending on the value of the <name> argument to rAC. 3. the code at the end of the rAC function contains two errors (spaces): log value should be logvalue T RUE should be TRUE After corrections it appears to work.
