I need to generate a random sample with a multivariate normal distribution using seed(12346) with 100 columns and 5000 rows.
So far I have got this:
set.seed(12346)
Preg1 <- data.frame(MASS::mvrnorm(n=5000,mu=c(0,0,0),Sigma = diag(3)))
The above gives me three columns, how can I get 100?
I cannot figure out how to get the vector of mu with 100 zeros without typing them in and the Sigma would then be Sigma = diag(100)
You can use mu = rep(0, 100). The rep function is used to repeat values.
set.seed(12346)
ncol = 100
Preg1<-data.frame(mvrnorm(n = 5000, mu = rep(0, ncol), Sigma = diag(ncol)))
dim(Preg1)
# [1] 5000 100
The rep function is quite useful, it can be used in various ways that aren't applicable here but are good to know about:
rep(c("A", "B", "C"), times = 3)
# [1] "A" "B" "C" "A" "B" "C" "A" "B" "C"
rep(c("A", "B", "C"), times = 1:3)
# [1] "A" "B" "B" "C" "C" "C"
rep(c("A", "B", "C"), each = 3)
# [1] "A" "A" "A" "B" "B" "B" "C" "C" "C"
In this particular case, because your Sigma is an identity matrix, each column is actually independent. So it would be equivalent to generate each column (or even each draw) independently, which we could do either of these ways:
x = replicate(n = ncol, rnorm(5000))
dim(x)
# [1] 5000 100
z = matrix(rnorm(5000 * ncol), ncol = ncol)
dim(z)
# [1] 5000 100

Imagine I have a vector like this one:
c("A", "B", "C", "D")
there are 4 positions. If I make a sample with size 1 I can get 1, 2, 3 or 4. What I want is to be able to subset of length 3 of that vector according its order, for example, if I get 2:
c("B", "C", "D")
If I get 3:
c("C", "D", "A")
If I get 4:
c("D","A", "B")
So that's the logic, the vector is sorted and the last elements connects with the first element when I subset.
Using seq, f gives you the desired subset for a specified vector v, of which you would like to subset l elements with a starting point at the nth position.
f <- function(v, n, l) v[seq(n - 1, length.out = l) %% length(v) + 1]
output
f(v, n = 4, l = 3)
#[1] "D" "A" "B"
f(v, n = 3, l = 4)
#[1] "C" "D" "A" "B"
f(v, n = 2, l = 5)
#[1] "B" "C" "D" "A" "B"
I think I got it!
v <- c("A", "B", "C", "D")
p <- sample(1:length(v), 1)
r <- c(v[p:length(v)])
c(r, v[!(v %in% r)])[1:3]
And the outputs:
v <- c("A", "B", "C", "D") # your vector
r <- c(v[2:length(v)])
c(r, v[!(v %in% r)])[1:3]
#> [1] "B" "C" "D"
r <- c(v[3:length(v)])
c(r, v[!(v %in% r)])[1:3]
#> [1] "C" "D" "A"
r <- c(v[4:length(v)])
c(r, v[!(v %in% r)])[1:3]
#> [1] "D" "A" "B"
Created on 2022-05-16 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)
Wrapped in a function:
f <- function(v, nth) {
r <- c(v[nth:length(v)])
return(c(r, v[!(v %in% r)])[1:3])
}
I am trying to reconstruct a Markov process from Shannons paper "A mathematical theory of communication". My question concerns figure 3 on page 8 and a corresponding sequence (message) from that Markov chain from page 5 section (B). I just wanted to check if I coded the right Markov chain to this figure from Shannons paper:
Here is my attempt:
install.packages("markovchain")
library(markovchain)
MessageABCDE = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E")
MessageTransitionMatrix = matrix(c(.4,.1,.2,.2,.1,
.4,.1,.2,.2,.1,
.4,.1,.2,.2,.1,
.4,.1,.2,.2,.1,
.4,.1,.2,.2,.1),
nrow = 5,
byrow = TRUE,
dimname = list(MessageABCDE, MessageABCDE))
MCmessage = new("markovchain", states = MessageABCDE,
byrow = TRUE,
transitionMatrix = MessageTransitionMatrix,
name = "WritingMessage")
steadyStates(MCmessage)
markovchainSequence(n = 20, markovchain = MCmessage, t0 = "A")
My goal was to also create a sequence (message) from that chain. I am mostly uncertain about the transition matrix, where infered the probabilities had to be all the same in every row. I am happy with the output of markovchainSequence, but I am not 100% sure, if I am doing it right.
Here is my console output for markovchainSequence:
> markovchainSequence(n = 20, markovchain = MCmessage, t0 = "A")
[1] "D" "E" "A" "D" "A" "A" "B" "D" "E" "C" "A" "A" "E" "C" "C" "D" "D" "D"
[19] "A" "C"
Looks fine. It's maybe odd because with fully independent states like this there isn't any need for a Markov chain. One could equally well use
tokens <- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E")
probs <- c(0.4, 0.1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1)
sample(tokens, size=20, replace=TRUE, prob=probs)
## [1] "A" "B" "A" "B" "D" "B" "C" "D" "A" "D" "C" "E" "A" "A" "C" "E" "C" "D" "C" "C"
Will likely make more sense once there is a variety of conditional probabilities.
Let's use the dataset from this question:
dat<-data.frame(replicate(20,sample(c("A", "B", "C","D"), size = 100, replace=TRUE)))
Then we can build the transition matrix and the markov chain:
# Build transition matrix
trans.matrix <- function(X, prob=T)
{
tt <- table( c(X[,-ncol(X)]), c(X[,-1]) )
if(prob) tt <- tt / rowSums(tt)
tt
}
trans.mat <- trans.matrix(as.matrix(dat))
attributes(trans.mat)$class <- 'matrix'
# Build markovchain
library(markovchain)
chain <- new('markovchain', transitionMatrix = trans.mat)
If I now encounter a new sequence, let's say AAABCAD can I then calculate the probability of observing this sequence given this markovchain?
I cannot see a function in markovchain exactly for that, but it can be easily done manually too. There's one caveat though: the transition matrix does not provide the probability of observing the first A, which needs to be provided by you. Let it be 0.25, as it would be if all four states were equally likely (which is true in your example).
Then the transitions in the observed chain can be obtained with
cbind(head(obs, -1), obs[-1])
# [,1] [,2]
# [1,] "A" "A"
# [2,] "A" "A"
# [3,] "A" "B"
# [4,] "B" "C"
# [5,] "C" "A"
# [6,] "A" "D"
Probabilities for each of those transitions then are
trans.mat[cbind(head(obs, -1), obs[-1])]
# [1] 0.2268722 0.2268722 0.2268722 0.2926316 0.2791165 0.2665198
and the final answer is 0.25 * (the product of the above vector):
0.25 * prod(trans.mat[cbind(head(obs, -1), obs[-1])])
# [1] 6.355069e-05
For comparison, we may estimate this probability by generating many chains of length 7:
dat <- replicate(2000000, paste(sample(c("A", "B", "C", "D"), size = 7, replace = TRUE), collapse = ""))
mean(dat == "AAABCAD")
# [1] 6.55e-05
Looks close enough!
I have written this loop to extract the names of each element of a vector that occurs within a time interval (bin). I was wondering if I am missing a faster way to do this... I want to implement a randomization aspect to vectors that are 1000s in length and as such do not want to rely on a loop.

These represent consecutive times in seconds of events. Say we want to make our intervals 5s long. My approach is to make a vector of the beginning of each interval and then use a loop to find the names of elements occurring within that interval:
N=5
ints <- seq(mydata[1], mydata[length(mydata)], N)
out<-list()
for(i in 1:length(ints)){
out[[i]] <- names(mydata[mydata>=ints[i] & mydata<ints[i]+N])
}
out
[[1]]
[1] "B" "A" "B"
[[2]]
[1] "E" "A" "A" "B"
[[3]]
[1] "G" "G" "C"
[[4]]
[1] "A" "D" "E" "B"
[[5]]
[1] "B" "E"
[[6]]
[1] "E" "G" "F" "A" "C"
[[7]]
[1] "A" "F"

[1] "B" "A" "F"
[[9]]
[1] "F"
[[10]]
[1] "G" "F"
[[11]]
[1] "G" "F"
This is fine for small samples - but I can see this would get slow when dealing with very large samples that are permuted 1000s of times.
My suggestion is to use findInterval (based on an answer to this earlier question of mine):
mydata2 = c(-Inf, mydata)
ints <- seq(mydata[1], mydata[length(mydata)]+5, N)
idx = findInterval(ints-1e-10, mydata2)
out<-list()
for(i in 1:(length(ints)-1)){
out[[i]] <- names(mydata2[(idx[i]+1):(idx[i+1])])
}
As you can see I have to do a little tinkering with the beginning (adding a first value that is smaller than the first breakpoint, adding an epsilon). Here's the result, it is identical to yours:
> out

[1] "B" "A" "B"

In terms of speed for the example there is some improvement:
> microbenchmark( jalapic = {out<-list(); for(i in 1:length(ints)){out[[i]] <- names(mydata[mydata>=ints[i] & mydata<ints[i]+N])}},
+ mts = {idx = findInterval(ints2-1e-10, mydata2); out<-list(); for(i in 1:(length(ints)-1)){out[[i]] <- names(mydata2[(idx[i]+1):(idx[i+1])])}},
+ alexis = {split(names(mydata), findInterval(mydata, ints))},
+ R_Yoda = {dt[, groups := cut2(data,ints)]; result <- dt[, paste0(names, collapse=", "), by=groups]})

For larger vectors (I chose length 2000) this is clearer:
set.seed(123)
mydata = sort(runif(n = 2000, min = 0, max = 100))
names(mydata) = sample(LETTERS[1:7], size = 2000, replace = T)
mydata2 = c(-Inf, mydata)
ints2 <- seq(mydata[1], mydata[length(mydata)]+5, N)
dt <- data.table(data=mydata, names=names(mydata) )
> microbenchmark( jalapic = {out<-list(); for(i in 1:length(ints)){out[[i]] <- names(mydata[mydata>=ints[i] & mydata<ints[i]+N])}},
+ mts = {idx = findInterval(ints2-1e-10, mydata2); out<-list(); for(i in 1:(length(ints)-1)){out[[i]] <- names(mydata2[(idx[i]+1):(idx[i+1])])}},
+ alexis = {split(names(mydata), findInterval(mydata, ints))},

For performance reasons I am using data.table:
Edit: This solution works, but is NOT very fast (as proved by the answer of mts)
library(Hmisc)
library(data.table)
# assuming that your mydata vector from the question is loaded
N=5 # code from your question...
ints <- seq(mydata[1], mydata[length(mydata)], N) # code from your question...
dt <- data.table(data=mydata, names=names(mydata) )
dt[, groups := cut2(data,ints)] # attention: shall the interval ends be included in the group or not?
groups <- dt[ , .(result=list(names)), by=groups] # the elements of a data.table can be a list itself!
# to get the result as list:
out <- groups[,result]
out
Edit: You could replace cut2 by findInterval and do it all in one line, but it is still slower:
out <- dt[, .(result=list(names)), by = findInterval(data,ints) ]
This is the result:

How can I generate all of the 6 combinations of 2 treatments (A,B) in blocks of 4, such that in each block there is an equal number of A's and B's, using R?
"AABB","ABAB","ABBA","BBAA","BABA","BAAB"
P.S. The number of combinations is calculated as follows:
If
T = #treatments
n = #treatments in each block = k*T,
The number of combinations equals n! / [k!*k! (T times)]
Thank you
Something like this should work:
library(gtools)
t <- c('A','B')
k <- 2
n <- k * length(t)
t2 <- rep(t, k)
m <- permutations(n,n)
res <- unique(apply(m,MARGIN=1,function(x) paste(t2[x],collapse='')))
--------------------------------------------------------------------
res
[1] "ABAB" "ABBA" "AABB" "BAAB" "BABA" "BBAA"
The multicool package implements an algorithm for permuting multisets --- exactly the task you want to have performed. Here's an example of what it can do:
library(multicool)
# Create a simple convenience function
enumAllPartitions <- function(multiset) {
m1 <- initMC(multiset) # Initialize the permutation object
N <- fact(length(multiset))/ # Calculate number of permutations
prod(fact(table(multiset)))
sapply(seq_len(N), function(X) paste(nextPerm(m1), collapse=""))
}
# Try it out with a few different multisets
x <- c("A", "A", "B", "B")
y <- c("G", "L", "L", "L")
z <- c("X", "X", "Y", "Z", "Z")
lapply(list(x,y,z), enumAllPartitions)

The expected solution can also be achieved using the new iterpc package.
