Hi Greg, Thanks.
Here is one approach to speeding up the 1st method that I had suggested: n <- 10000 set.seed(123) rtrg <- matrix(NA, n, 3) system.time(for (i in 1:n) rtrg[i,] <- diff(c(0, sort(runif(2)), 1))) set.seed(123) system.time({ tmp <- matrix(runif(n*2), n, 2, byrow=TRUE) rtrg.1 <- cbind(pmin(tmp[,1], tmp[,2]), abs(tmp[,1] - tmp[,2]),1 - pmax(tmp[,1], tmp[,2])) }) all.equal(rtrg, rtrg.1) Now, how can we use vis.test to test differences between these? Best, Ravi. ____________________________________________________________________ Ravi Varadhan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology School of Medicine Johns Hopkins University Ph.
