[R] Evaluate output after each rep()

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

I do not fully understand what you mean by "stop". If you mean terminate
the whole function, then something like

 sim <- function(nn, mustExist=100){

   for (ii in 1:nn){
       ee <- rep(rbinom(6000, 200, .5), ii)

       if( any(ee!=mustExist) )
           stop( paste("Iteration", ii, "did not contain", mustExist, 
                       ". Terminating function \n") )
   }
 
   ## Do something further ##
 }


But generally, I want to just resample again till I get the desired length.

 sim <- function(nn, mustExist=100){

   counter <- 0;  ii <- 1

   while( counter <= nn ){

       ee <- rep(rbinom(6000, 200, .5), ii)

       if( any(ee!=mustExist) ){
           warning(paste( "Iteration", ii, "did not contain", mustExist, 
                           ". Resampling again\n") )
       } else {
         counter <- counter + 1
         ii      <- ii + 1
         ## Do something further ##
      }
   }
 }

You can turn off the branch that returns the warnings if it gets annoying.

BTW, why do you want to use rep(.., ii) ?

Regards, Adai




If you want to count how many times out
