I've advised people consulting me that if their data is loaded with zeros, while they are absolutely certain that something should be where the zeros are, then they either need a better measuring tool, or to carefully document the results of limits on detectability and then note what fraction o

[R] Quantiles of sums of independent discrete random variables

2024-01-23 Thread Michael Meyer via R-help
Greetings, I have the following  Problem: Given k (=10) discrete independent random variables X_i with n_i (= 5 to 20) values each,compute quantiles of the distribution of the sum X = X_1+...+X_k. Here X has n=n_1 x n_2 ... n_k distinct values which is too large to list them all together with t
