Generate n random numbers, distributed according to a normal mixture.

Usage

rnorMix(n, obj)

Arguments

n

the number of random numbers desired.

obj

an object of class norMix.

Value

• numeric vector of length n.

Details

For a mixture of $m$, i.e., m.norMix(obj), components, generate the number in each component as multinomial, and then use rnorm for each.

Examples

x <- rnorMix(5000, MW.nm10)
hist(x)# you don't see the claw
plot(density(x), ylim = c(0,0.6),
     main = "Estim. and true 'MW.nm10' density")
lines(MW.nm10, col = "orange")
