ah, I see! Thanks you for the assistance! I can see how I went wrong. ________________________________________ From: arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2014 2:59 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Mathew Nagendran Subject: Re: [R] Defining function help
Hi, Not sure if this is what you wanted: t.control=function(m, a){(1-exp(-a*m)*((1-(1/30))*m))} t.sham=function(m, a, d){(1-exp(-a*(1-d)*m)*((1-(1/30))*m))} t.control(2,2) #[1] 0.9645898 t.sham(2,2,0.1) #[1] 0.9471741 A.K.

I am quite new to R and I would appreciate some help in figuring out what I am doing wrong.

(the cost is 1-1/30*m). Is there something wrong I did when defining t.sham and t.control in the "with cost" section that I am failing to see?
