[R] data generation

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi deb,

I am not clear what you want exactly, but something like:

x <- runif(1000)
y <- x^2 + rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 1)

might do what you want.

See
?runif
for documentation.  It generates random numbers from the uniform
distribution, and ditto for rnorm except from normal.

Cheers,

Josh
