[R] Generating Heavy and Light Tailed Normal Variates

Hi all, I need to generate heavy and light-tailed normal variates separately for demonstration purposes. I figure for the heavy-tailed, I will just generate variates from a t distribution with low degrees of freedom. How does one generate light-tailed normal variates? Thanks, Dan [[alte

Re: [R] Generating Heavy and Light Tailed Normal Variates

There is no such thing as "heavy and light tailed normal variates." The normal distribution is normal, period. Ask this on stats.stackexchange.com. It is about statistics not R, and a sensible answer heavily depends on the context you have in mind. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with

Re: [R] Generating Heavy and Light Tailed Normal Variates

Hi Bert, Thank you for the response. Let me re-phrase: What is the most efficient way to generate variates from a unimodal symmetric distribution that are leptokurtic or platykurtic in R? There does not appear to be a kurtosis parameter for rnorm(). Thanks all, Dan On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 10:1

Re: [R] Generating Heavy and Light Tailed Normal Variates

Sorry, but you need to do some studying of statistical theory. The normal/Gaussian distribution has a fixed kurtosis of 3.0. **There is no kurtosis parameter.** Again, this is not the place for such discussions. -- Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep co

It looks like a permissions problem. You might want to check with your local IT support. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip ) On Fri, Dec

[R] How to scale circle sizes in VennDiagram using draw.triple.venn

Hi, The below is the command I used to create a Venn diagram with three sets. However, the three circle sizes are the same. Could you show me how to adjust the circle size based on the area size? Many thanks. grid.newpage() draw.triple.venn(area1 = 9737, area2 = 13329, area3 = 6300, n12 = 8612,

[R] modify the imported version of a function

Hi I saw on the assignInNamespace help page, that it changes "the copy in the namespace, but not any copies already exported from the namespace, in particular an object of that name in the package (if already attached) and any copies already imported into other namespaces." So now I'm wonder

I usually use the package Vennerable for all my Venn needs. It also has the option to draw weighted diagrams. HTH Ulrik Yung-Chih Lai schrieb am Fr., 16. Dez. 2016, 21:40: > Hi, > > > The below is the command I used to create a Venn diagram with three sets. > However, the three circle sizes are
