rbernou: Fast Simulation of Bernoulli Random Variables

Description

The function rbernou generates Bernoulli Random Variables faster than using rbinom(n, 1, prob) or runif(n) <= prob by using a C-level integer comparison.

Usage

rbernou(n, prob=0.5)

Arguments

n

integer, number of simulations.

prob

double, probability.

Value

A vector of i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables.

Details

The case prob = 0.5 is twice time faster than the general case 0 <= proba <= 1, using a specific C-level binary algorithm.
