Hello all, I have the code below to simulate samples of certain size from a particular distribution (here,beta distribution) and compute some statistics for the samples.
betasim2<-function(nsim,n,alpha,beta) { sim<-matrix(rbeta(nsim*n,alpha,beta),ncol=n) xmean<-apply(sim,1,mean) xvar<-apply(sim,1,var) xmedian<-apply(sim,1,median) simset<-data.frame(sampleno=seq1:nsim),means=xmean,vars=xvar,medians=xmedian) return(simset) } I can write a similar coding for any distribution individually. Now, I would like to have a generic code, say if I specify the distribution with the parameters and simulation and sample size I would like to have the simulations done for the mentioned distribution and the statistics performed. I would appreciate any help in doing so? Thanks for your time.
