Dear useRs, I have an empirical distribution (not normal etc) and I want to draw random samples from it. One solution I can think of is to compute let's say 100 quantiles, then use runif() to draw a random number Q between 1 and 100, and finally run runif() again to pull a random value from the quantile Q. Is there perhaps a better/more elegant way of doing this?
Thank you, b. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
