rxnormV function

Simulate random normal variable from threefry generator

rxnormV(mean = 0, sd = 1, n = 1L, ncores = 1L)

rxnorm(mean = 0, sd = 1, n = 1L, ncores = 1L)

Arguments

• mean: vector of means.

• sd: vector of standard deviations.

• n: number of observations

• ncores: Number of cores for the simulation

  rxnorm simulates using the threefry sitmo generator.

  rxnormV used to simulate with the vandercorput simulator, but since it didn't satisfy the normal properties it was changed to simple be an alias of rxnorm. It is no longer supported in rxode2({}) blocks

Returns

normal random number deviates

Examples

## Use threefry engine

rxnorm(n = 10) # with rxnorm you have to explicitly state n
rxnorm(n = 10, ncores = 2) # You can parallelize the simulation using openMP

rxnorm(2, 3) ## The first 2 arguments are the mean and standard deviation

## This example uses `rxnorm` directly in the model

rx <- function() {
  model({
    a <- rxnorm()
  })
}

et <- et(1, id = 1:2)

s <- rxSolve(rx, et)
