hello people, I want to make a biased dice using the sample() function and print out the results after n number of runs, I've successfully generated the dice using the following command: mydie2<-function(n=1000,y=NULL,...){ for(i in 1:n){ x<-sample(1:6,n,replace=TRUE,prob=c(1,1,2,3,2,1)/10) x=runif(n) if(x<=1/10){y[i]=1} else if(x<=2/10){y[i]=2} else if(x<=4/10){y[i]=3} else if(x<=7/10){y[i]=4} else if(x<=9/10){y[i]=5} else{y[i]=6} } bar<-barplot(table(y)) table<-table(y) return(list(bar,table)) }
mydie2() but I also want to try to create the same dice stimulation using ifelse() statement, but all hell break loose when I attempt to use the command below (the barplot only shows the results to be 6), can anyone tell me what went wrong please: mydie2<-function(n=1000,y=NULL,...){ for(i in 1:n){ x<-sample(1:6,n,replace=TRUE,prob=c(1,1,2,3,2,1)/10) x=runif(n) ifelse((x<=1/10),{y[i]<-1}, ifelse((x<=2/10),{y[i]<-2}, ifelse((x<=4/10),{y[i]<-3}, ifelse((x<=7/10),{y[i]<-4}, ifelse((x<=9/10),{y[i]<-5},{y[i]<-6}))))) } bar<-barplot(table(y)) table<-table(y) return(list(bar,table)) } mydie2() -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/ifelse-command-tp2329538p2329538.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.
