I am calling two function repeatedly (Nrep times) and save the results using the below code:
repeat.gendat <- function(Nreps,N, quantilelist=c(0,1,5,50,95,99,100),
distrib='norm',n.mean=5, n.stdev=3,e.lambda=0.1,
qq=0.5,M=1) {
for (j in 1:Nreps) {
if (j==1) {
if (distrib=='norm') { output.data <- gen.norm.dat(N,n.mean,n.stdev,quantilelist)}
if (distrib=='exp') { output.data <- gen.exp.dat(N,e.lambda,quantilelist)}
if (distrib=='binom') { output.data <-
gen.binom.dat(N,qq, M,quantilelist)}
}
if (j>1) {
if (distrib=='norm') { output.data <- rbind(output.data,
gen.norm.dat(N,n.mean,n.stdev,quantilelist)) }
if (distrib=='exp') { output.data <- rbind(output.data,
gen.exp.dat(N,e.lambda,quantilelist)) }
if (distrib=='binom') { output.data <- rbind(output.data,
gen.binom.dat(N,qq,M,quantilelist)) }
}
}
return(output.data)
}
And then to generate the normally distributed data I run the below code in Rstudio:
data1 <- repeat.gendat(100, 50,quantilelist=c(0,1,5,50,95,99,100),
distrib='norm', n.mean = 5, n.stdev = 3)
But I am getting this error: Error in rnorm(Nreps, N, n.mean, n.stdev) : unused argument (n.stdev)
I don't know where I am wrong.
Any help would be appreciated
Paria, please use "code sample" option to indicate your code lines.
Is the function
gen.norm.dat
from a library, or did you define it elsewhere? This function is likely callingrnorm
incorrectly, but I wouldn't be able to help without knowing the origin of the function.The parameters for rnorm is
rnorm(N, mean, sd)
. I guess what you are trying to do here is to generate multiple normally distributed values. For that you will need to doreplicate(Nreps, rnorm(N, n.mean, n.stdev))
in thegen.norm.dat
function.
