Hi,
I want to sample from a distribution (say a normal distribution, for example) using vectors of the different parameters (i.e. the mean and standard deviation). That is, I have a list/vector of say 100 means and another of the corresponding 100 SD's, and I want a matrix of 100 rows (one for each mean and SD pair) each having 1000 random samples.
Something like:
sample_matrix = rnorm(n=1000, mean=vector_of_100_means, sd=vector_of_100_corresponding_SDs)
Is this possible? Thanks for any help in advance.
