will generate lots of duplicate data points, if I want to generated bigger dataset yet my raw data do not have a big sample size. The scatter plot of the sampled data doesn’t look good this way. Heyi --- On Fri, 3/23/12, David Winsemius wrote: From: David Winsemius Subject: Re: [R

R can do all of that and more. But you'll need to put some work in reading about how to use R, about the statistical methods involved, and about how to use them to best effect. You might want, for instance, generalized additive models. Or not. If your question isn't more fully-formed than this, yo

Dear all, I have a bivariate dataset from a preliminary study. I want to do two things: (1) estimate the probability density of this bivariate distribution using some nonparametric method (kernel, spline etc); (2) sample a big dataset from this bivariate distribution for a simulation study. Is t
