I just wrote a new function to generate a set of random data for individual observations as if they were drawn from a set of univariate normal distributions with species specific means and variances specified in a vector of means & variances. This is to automate the data simulation process for the fitBayes (e.g., see here). I have not yet posted this only, but the function is as follows:
sampleFrom<-function(xbar=0,xvar=1,n=1,randn=NULL,type="norm"){
if(length(xvar)==1&&length(xbar)!=length(xvar))
xvar<-rep(xvar,length(xbar))
if(!is.null(randn))
for(i in 1:length(xbar))
n[i]<-floor(runif(n=1,min=randn[1],max=(randn[2]+1)))
x<-vector()
for(i in 1:length(xbar)){
y<-rnorm(n=n[i],mean=xbar[i],sd=sqrt(xvar[i]))
names(y)<-rep(names(xbar)[i],length(y))
x<-c(x,y)
}
return(x)
}
Seems to work for what I'm trying to do. Let me know if you see any bugs.
