I am a novice user of "R" and I'm learning with R version 2.8.1, using
WinEdt_1.8.1, under Widows Vista Home Version.
## The test function below, from a vector input, returns vector values:
# and it contains an "ifelse"statement
TEST<- function(x) {
low<- -x^2
up<- x^4
ifelse(x>=0,up,low )
}
u<- seq(-1,1,0.5)
TEST(u)
###########################################################
# #The following function, also containing "ifelse", returns correct
individual values
# (confirmed independently from another program).
# Vector input, however, generates the following message:
# "In if (is.finite(lower)) { :the condition has length > 1 and only the
first element
# will be used"
# And, in fact, correct multiple values are not returned.
########################################################
ASEPF<- function(y, theta, sigma, alpha, kappa){
loww<-((theta - y)/(sigma* kappa))^alpha
upp<- (kappa *(y - theta)/sigma)^alpha
k<- 1/(1 + kappa^2)
a<- 1/alpha
integrand<- function(y){y^(a-1)* exp(-y)/gamma(1/alpha)}
GL<- integrate(integrand, lower = loww, upper= Inf)$value
GU<- integrate(integrand, lower = upp, upper= Inf)$value
ifelse(y>=0,1 - k*GU, (kappa^2) *k * GL)
}
ASEPF(u,0,1,2,0.5)
Could someone kindly give me some advice on how to
rewrite the function ASEPF so that it returns a vector of values?
many thanks,
