For R HELP, for example to get help about the function rnorm ,
> help(rnorm)
RStudio has a help window!
Generate a sample of 100 N(0,1) random variables.
> help(rnorm)
> rnorm(100)
What happened?
Now, let's try:
> temp <- rnorm(100)
What is in the object temp?
What is the length of the oject temp?
Make a informative plot of temp?
If this were part of a homework problem, you might want to copy and
paste the R code and plot into a Word Document?
Say what?
Let's try Sweave today after we go through R Lab.
Try it!
For the binomial distribution,
these functions are
pbinom
,
qbinom
,
dbinom
, and
rbinom
.
For help, use the help function on one of the four functions above.
Problem: Dr. Dribble has a probability of .8 of making free throws each time he shoots. What is the probability of him making at least 8 out of 10 free throws?
Assume his shots are independent of each other.
Let X be the number of free throws made. X is has a Binomial(10, 0.8) distribution. What does this look like?
Let's generate a large number of Binomial(n,p) random variables and look at the histogram.
> set.seed(1) > bindat <- rbinom(n=10000, size=10, prob=0.8) > hist(bindat, breaks=seq(2, 10, 1), freq=F)We want to find the probability of making at least 8 out of 10 free throws.
Let's calculate P(X <= 7) when X is has the Binomial(10, 0.8) distribution using the pbinom function.
Now, to answer the question: P(X >= 8) = 1 - P(X <= 7) = 1-0.3222005 = 0.6777995
> help(binom.test)
Class example: Binom(25,0.4). If B=15, what do you conclude?
> binom.test(15,25,0.4, alternative="greater")
Calculate P(B >= 15) in R. For the signficance level, P(B >= 14)?
What about CI's for this test? (see help function)
Let's look at Example/Problem from above Dr. Dribble:
Suppose the HW problem wants you calculate the probabilty AND also include a hi\
stogram.
Here is the code that we will need to put in a Sweave document: drdribble
Note: Sweave documents have a .Rnw extenstion!
We will need to select R Sweave under the File, then New File options.
This automatically adds the lines:
\SweaveOpts{concordance=TRUE}
Note: When you compile the pdf in the Lab, you will probably get an error!
Your pdf document should look like: STAT672HW0.pdf
Markdown or LaTeX?
Here is an Example of a .Rmd file Lab1.Rmd
Thanks Jonathan!
Try going through the following Intro. Lessons. The # sign is a comment, so
you can copy and paste.
Let's look at plotting different distributions
In order to run the function, you will need:
There are 2 ways to get these functions for your very own.
