The easiest way is to generate them by whatever method and divide by their sum. e.g. as (s<-rexp(100))/sum(s) Are there other constraints, you need the numbers to satisfy? Obviously, they can't be independent. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
