ncombinations: Number of combinations

Description

Number of combinations

Usage

ncombinations(x = NULL, k = NULL, n = NULL, v = NULL,
  freq = NULL, replace = FALSE, bigz = FALSE)

Arguments

x

an integer or a vector, will be treated as n if integer; otherwise, will be treated as v. Should not be specified together with n and v.

k

an integer, the number of items drawn, defaults to n if freq is NULL else sum(freq)

n

an integer, the total number of items, its value may be implicitly deduced from length(v) or length(freq)

v

a vector to be drawn, defaults to 1:n.

freq

an integer vector of item repeat frequencies

replace

an logical to draw items with replacement

bigz

an logical to use gmp::bigz

Examples

# NOT RUN {
ncombinations(5, 2)

# integer overflow
# }
# NOT RUN {
ncombinations(40, 15)
# }
# NOT RUN {
ncombinations(40, 15, bigz = TRUE)

# number of combinations of `c("a", "b", "b")`
# they are `c("a", "b")` and `c("b", "b")`
ncombinations(k = 2, freq = c(1, 2))

# zero sized combinations
ncombinations(5, 0)
