[R-sig-teaching] [abouelmakarim1962 at gmail.com: Re: Laplace Distribution]

[User Hayden]

There is nothing wrong with doing that but this list is not for how-to
questions about how to get R to do something.  It is about educational
uses of R.  For example, one might ask about which R interface or
graphics package seems easiest for students to use, or what tutorials
are available for beginners.  However, we actually get more how-to
questions than questions about using R as a teaching tool, so people
get tired of off-topic questions and complain about them when they
appear.

Subject: Re: [R-sig-teaching] Laplace Distribution

Dear All:

I am teaching a nonparametric course, and want to compute the power of the
sign test assuming that the x's has laplace distribution under Ha.

what is wrong with that.

any way thank you very much


with thanks
abou
