Hi, I am a newbie to R and I am working with a Mac.
Is there any package that I can use to generate random samples from a user defined distribution ? That is , I define a distribution function ( maybe multi dimension ) and I want some random samples generated from my this distribution.
Or, there is a more specific problem . If I have a three component mixture with each of them being normal distribution( say 3 dimension ) , is there any package that I can use to generate random samples from this mixture . I know I can generate random samples from each individual component. However, can I just add them directly????
Thanks. -------------------------- Peng Jiang 江鹏 Ph.D. Candidate Antai College of Economics & Management 安泰经济管理学院 Department of Mathematics 数学系 Shanghai Jiaotong University (Minhang Campus) 800 Dongchuan Road 200240 Shanghai P.
