Create Pairs of Correlated Random Numbers
Create pairs of correlated random numbers.
RndPairs(n, r, rdist1 = rnorm(n = n, mean = 0, sd = 1),
rdist2 = rnorm(n = n, mean = 0, sd = 1))
RndWord(size, length, x = LETTERS, replace = TRUE, prob = NULL)n |
number of pairs. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required. |
r |
the correlation between the two sets. |
rdist1, rdist2 |
the distribution of the random vector X1 and X2. Default is standard normal distribution. |
size |
a non-negative integer giving the number of artificial words to build. |
length |
a non-negative integer giving the length of the words. |
x |
elements to choose from. |
replace |
Should sampling be with replacement? |
prob |
a vector of probability weights for obtaining the elements of the vector being sampled. |
a data.frame with 2 columns, X1 and X2 containing the random numbers
