I have a function written for Splus, when I run it in R I obtain get an error because the function has the elements "0.d0" and "2.d0". How can I change it to run in R?
The function can be found in page 230 from http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~mchung/teaching/stat471/stat_computing.pdf Function is as follows: gauher <- function(n) {# Gauss-Hermite: returns x,w so that #\int_-\infty^\infty exp(-x^2) f(x) dx \doteq \sum w_i f(x_i) EPS <- 3.e-14 PIM4 <- .7511255444649425D0 MAXIT <- 10 m <- trunc((n+1)/2) x <- w <- rep(-1,n) for (i in 1:m) { if (i==1) { z <- sqrt(2*n+1)-1.85575*(2*n+1)^(-.16667) } else if(i==2) { z <- z-1.14*n^.426/z } else if (i==3) { z <- 1.86*z-.86*x[1] } else if (i==4) { z <- 1.91*z-.91*x[2] } else { z <- 2.*z-x[i-2] } for (its in 1:MAXIT) { p1 <- PIM4 p2 <- 0.d0 for (j in 1:n) { p3 <- p2 p2 <- p1 p1 <- z*sqrt(2.d0/j)*p2-sqrt((j-1)/j)*p3 } pp <- sqrt(2.d0*n)*p2 z1 <- z z <- z1-p1/pp if(abs(z-z1) <= EPS) break } x[i] <- z x[n+1-i] <- -z w[i] <- 2/(pp*pp) w[n+1-i] <- w[i] } list(x=x,w=w) } -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Converting-a-function-from-Splus-to-R-tp4431416p4431416.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
