rflip

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)
