[R] generating samples by Monte Carlo

2010-03-29 Thread Jin
Hello Dear, I am trying to generate samples by using Monte Carlo simulation. For example, 1000 samples, Exponential distribution (f(x), lambda=0.0005, 0=x=360) Is there any package for Monte Carlo or just use random sample generation function? Many thank you for your help in advance, Jin --

5000 samples, Exponential distribution (f(x), lambda=0.0005, 0=x=360) If you don't need the truncation at 360 you can just use rgamma to generate the exponentials rgamma(5000,shape=1,rate=0.0005) (It's not 100% clear but I assume your lambda is an inverse of a scale parameter) Why are you
