Hi Karl, Your comment is very interesting.
Do you mean I should favor: rnorm(n, 0, 1) * b + a over rnorm(n, a, b) ? What is the proper/safe way to use rnorm()? -------------------------------------------------------- FWIW, set.seed( 1 ); yy <- mean( rnorm( 100000 ) * (0.25/sqrt(252)) + (0.08/252)) * 252; yy # 0.07109407 still gives me what I had before (but I shouldn't depend on it being the same, right)? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/rnorm%28%29-converted-to-daily-tp23092444p23093334.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.
