Thank you for that explanation and solution David. As a follow-up to ifelse working on vectors, earlier I tried to coerce (?correct term?) the matrix into a vector but I still received the same result. Should the following work, or does as.vector not work that way, even though vect now prints as a vector?
> library(mc2d) > matrx <- matrix(c(2, 1, 1, 2, 2,1), nc=3) > vect <- as.vector(matrx) > *vect* [1] *2 1 1 2 2 1* > # rtriang from mc2d package: function (n, min = -1, mode = 0, max = 1) > dvect<- ifelse(vect==1, rtriang(4, min=0.001, mode=as.vector(vect), > max=2.001), rtriang(4, min=2, mode=as.vector(vect), max=3)) Warning message: In rtriang(4, min = 2, mode = as.vector(vect), max = 3) : NaN in rtriang >* dvect* [1] *2.3838913 0.5752171 0.3598679 2.0560875 2.3838913 0.5752171* -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/rtriang-using-ifelse-statement-tp4481037p4481113.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.
