Dear all of you, I would like to get some help from you. Here I attach you a model, that I would like to be stochastic so I would need each time the value of x changed, the values of parameters (ss, emrg, gf, spp, sr) did too according to a normal distribution, with mean its value and standard deviation given by the parameter name preceded by SDV (In the case of parameter ss, mean is 0.3 and Standad deviation 0.08). I explain myself, the model take the mean value of these parameter (ss, emrg, gf, spp, sr) and I would like for example, when x changed to the value 2, the parameters values changed randomly according to their normal distribution (given the mean and standard deviation values) and got another mean value. And when x was 3 again, and every time until 20. Does anyone, know how to do it?
ss <- 0.3 emrg <- 0.35 gf <- 0.22 spp <- 100 sr <- 0.52 SDVss <- 0.08 SDVemrg <- 0.05 SDVgf <- 0.04 SDVspp <- 22 SDVsr <- 0.1 data.frame <- matrix(0,20,7) data.frame data.frame[,1] <- 1:20 data.frame for(x in 1:20){ if(x==1){ data.frame[1,2] <- 50 data.frame[1,3] <- 18 data.frame[1,4] <- 3 data.frame[1,5] <- 300 data.frame[1,6] <- NA data.frame[1,7] <- NA }else{ data.frame[x,2] <- (data.frame[(x-1),2]-data.frame[(x-1),3]+data.frame[(x-1),5]*sr)*ss data.frame[x,3] <- data.frame[x,2]*emrg data.frame[x,4] <- data.frame[x,3]*gf data.frame[x,5] <- data.frame[x,4]*spp data.frame[x,6] <- data.frame[x,2]- data.frame[(x-1),2] data.frame[x,7] <- data.frame[x,2]/ data.frame[(x-1),2] } } end data.frame Thank you very much in advanced, Judit Barroso [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
