I agree entirely with Gabor. My advice would be to just ignore the people who
think differently -- however, if you want those particular folks to respond,
you'll have to play by their rules. (and if you don't play by their rules,
you'll just have to ignore the consequences -- this _IS_ the

That's fairly bad advice, in that many of the people who actually
provide helpful advice are old-fashioned, and like to know who they're
providing it
Is this an ad hominem comment or a comment of brevity? Unless my eyes
are playing tricks on me, I can't seem to find any language in the
Posting Guide on what is considered a reasonable vs. unreasonable
request from an anonymous poster. Kindly point me to it if it exists.
In any case, thanks
I don't think there is any requirement to identify yourself in any
way nor should their be. Many people on the list are in academia
and in those cases they probably want their name in lights but
others may wish to have a lower profile and its common to use

I think Duncan's suggestion that the poster work it out for
him/her self is perfectly reasonable. People can be anonymous
all they like. Those of us who are made suspicious by this
anonymity (what have they got to hide?) can decline to provide
assistance.

Dear List,
Below is a simple, standard loss model that takes into account the
terms of an insurance policy:
deductible - 15
coverage.limit - 75
insurance.threshold - deductible + coverage.limit
tmpf - function() {
loss - rlnorm(rpois(1, 3), 2, 5)
sum(ifelse(loss insurance.threshold, loss -

Just to be sure, is what I have below the right intepretation of your
suggestion:
deductible - 15
coverage.limit - 75
insurance.threshold - deductible + coverage.limit
tmpf - function() {
loss - rlnorm(rpois(1, 3), 2, 5)
n - length(loss)
accept - runif(n) 0.8
payout - runif(n) 0.999

Yes, that's what I suggested.

I made a few slight modifications to the original model in an effort
to see the inner workings of the code:
deductible - 1
coverage.limit - 2
insurance.threshold - deductible + coverage.limit
snip
set.seed(123)
loss - abs(rnorm(rpois(1, 5), 1, 3))
n - length(loss)
