[R] Sum(Random Numbers)=100

[Daniel Malter]

For some reason, the while-loop I sent did not work. It was running forever
although I don't know why. Anyway, using repeat works fast:

repeat{x=rpois(50,2)
      if(sum(x)==100) break
      }

Betreff: [R] Sum(Random Numbers)=100

Hi R,

 

I need to generate 50 random numbers (preferably poisson), such that their
sum is equal to 100. How do I do this?

 

 

Thank you,

Shubha
