Tossing Coins

Description

These functions simplify simulating coin tosses for those (students primarily) who are not yet familiar with the binomial distributions or just like this syntax and verbosity better.

Usage

rflip(
  n = 1,
  prob = 0.5,
  quiet = FALSE,
  verbose = !quiet,
  summarize = FALSE,
  summarise = summarize
)

## S3 method for class 'cointoss'
print(x, ...)

nflip(n = 1, prob = 0.5, ...)

Arguments

n	the number of coins to toss
prob	probability of heads on each toss
quiet	a logical. If TRUE, less verbose output is used.
verbose	a logical. If TRUE, more verbose output is used.
summarize	if TRUE, return a summary (as a data frame).
summarise	alternative spelling for summarize.
x	an object
...	additional arguments

Value

for rflip, a cointoss object

for nflip, a numeric vector

Examples

rflip(10)
rflip(10, prob = 1/6, quiet = TRUE)
rflip(10, prob = 1/6, summarize = TRUE)
do(5) * rflip(10)
as.numeric(rflip(10))
nflip(10)
