how to prove sum of probabilities to be one in R?
Hi Dear I am facing a floating-point problem related to the sum of probabilities. It is really difficult to prove that sum of probabilities is 1 because of some minor differences. The MWE is as follows.
p1=0.99999999 p2=0.00000000003> p1+p2==1[1] FALSE
The sum of probabilities is approximately 1. The difference from 1 is 1-p1-p2 = 9.97e-09, that is very small. I need to apply the sum of probabilities conditions in my many functions. But execution is halted because of floating point. Could anyone please guide about that? Thank you Regards Shaami
