Sampling data without having infinite numbers after diong a transformation
Perhaps you should read the help file for rnorm more carefully.
?rnorm
Keep in mind that the normal probability distribution is a density function, so the smaller the standard deviation is, the greater the magnitude of the density function is.

Hello R-helpers.. I want to ask about how I can sample data sets without having the infinite numbers coming out. For example, set.seed(1234) a<-rnorm(15,0,1) b<-rnorm(15,0,1) c<-rnorm(15,0,1) d<-rnorm(15,0,36) After come out with the sample, I need to do a transformation (by Hoaglin, 1985) for each data set. Actually I need to measure the skewness and kurtosis, that's why I need to do the transformation. After transformation, there will be 'Inf' value in my data sets and I cannot proceed with the next step where I need to compute the trimmed mean and sum square of deviation. If anyone can help on how to obtain a better data sets so that my programme will work. Thank you. Best regards, Hyo Min UPM Malaysia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
