Dear Rainer, If X1 is random on 1:20 with probabilities proportional to dnorm(,10,2), and X2 is random on 10:30 with probs proportional to dnorm(,15,1), and the object is to find out the probability distribution of X1 + X2, then a very quick way is with package distr: library(distr) X1 <- Discret

[R] Looking for simpler solution to probabilistic question

2008-01-15 Thread Rainer M Krug
Hi I have two processes which take with a certain probability (p1 and p2) x number of years to complete (age1 and age2). As soon as thge first process is completed, the second one begins. I want to calculate the time it takes for the both processes to be completed. I have the following script
