normal {wakefield}

Generate Random Normal Vector

Description

normal - A wrapper for rnorm that generate a random normal vector.

normal_round - A wrapper for rnorm that generate a rounded random normal vector.

Usage

normal(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, min = NULL, max = NULL, name = "Normal")

normal_round(
  n,
  mean = 0,
  sd = 1,
  min = NULL,
  max = NULL,
  digits = 2,
  name = "Normal"
)

Arguments

n

The number elements to generate. This can be globally set within the environment of r_data_frame or r_list.

mean

The mean value for the normal distribution to be drawn from.

sd

The standard deviation of the normal distribution to draw from.

min

A numeric lower boundary cutoff. Results less than this value will be replaced with min.

max

A numeric upper boundary cutoff. Results greater than this value will be replaced with max.

name

The name to assign to the output vector's varname attribute. This is used to auto assign names to the column/vector name when used inside of r_data_frame or r_list.

digits

Integer indicating the number of decimal places to be used. Negative values are allowed (see round).

Value

Returns a random vector of elements.
