r - Need help interpreting this code -
so code handed out in our school, 1 of many examples (model of rolling fair dice).
x<-runif(1) y<-as.double(x<=c(1/6,2/6,3/6,4/6,5/6,1))*(1:6) x<-min(y[y>0])
im having trouble understanding relation of code , rolling dice.
so first line generates 1 randomly uniform distributed number x between 0 , 1. in second line put condition x: if less 1 of components of vector (1/6,2/6,3/6,4/6,5/6,1) true=1 , else false=0.
and result multiplied vector (1,2,3,4,5,6). lastly take minimum value of vector product (has greater zero).
i cant intuition behind this. here mind explain relation of code rolling dice in real life. im confused..
so rolling dice each number has same probability of 1/6 appear.
now done here, simulate rolling dice.
therefore in first line random number between 0 , 1 generated.
the intervals compared equally sized , have length of 1/6. there for, x lie in 1 of these intervals probability again 1/6. done in third line, in interval x has fallen.
lets example: supposed x 0.25. vector of second line this:
false, true, true, true , true, true
with multiplication get:
0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
therefore @ end x equal 2.
so @ end x supposed number dice showing
