generate_probabilities: Generate relative probabilities according to a distribution

In bvancil/peRsonal: R package of personally useful functions

Description

The probabilities are intended to be used as weights in functions like sample.

Usage

generate_probabilities(num_groups, distribution = stats::runif, ...)

Arguments

num_groups	natural number, number of group labels
distribution	distribition, e.g. runif, rnorm Must accept one parameter. Results should be non-negative.
...	further parameters for the distribution

Value

num_groups samples from the distribution

Examples

generate_probabilities(10, stats::runif)
generate_probabilities(5, stats::rnorm, mean = 3, sd = 0.5)
generate_probabilities(6, function(n) { base::abs(stats::rnorm(n)) })
