Unif: Uniform Random Distribution

Description

Generates uniformly distributed random parameter sets.

Usage

Unif(parRange, num)

Value

a matrix with one row for each generated parameter set, and one column per parameter.

Arguments

parRange

the range (min, max) of the parameters, a matrix or a data.frame with one row for each parameter, and two columns with the minimum (1st) and maximum (2nd) value.

num

the number of random parameter sets to generate.

Examples

parRange <- data.frame(min = c(0, 1, 2, 3), max = c(10, 9, 8, 7))
rownames(parRange) <- c("par1", "par2", "par3", "par4")
