I need use different parameters of distribution for different case to
generate random value, but I use ifelse, the generated value is fixed
without change.
Here is example
data1
y x
1 1 2
2 2 1
3 3 2
4 4 3
5 5 3
6 6 1
7 7 2
8 8 1
9 9 1
10 10 3
11 11 3
12 12 2
ifelse(data1$x==1,rnorm(1,2,1),ifelse(data1$x==2,rnorm(1,-2,1),rnorm(1,110,1)))
[1] -1.8042172 0.8478681 -1.8042172 110.0301239 110.0301239 0.8478681
-1.8042172 0.8478681 0.8478681 110.0301239
[11] 110.0301239 -1.8042172
How can I get real random value from a distribution. Thanks.
