[R] probability from different values

[Matthias Kohl]

Hello Ricardo,

another solution could be using package distr:

library(distr)
A <- c(18,18,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28)
DA <- DiscreteDistribution(A)
# maybe
# support(DA)
# plot (DA)

B <- c(82,83,84,85,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,91,92)
DB <- DiscreteDistribution(B)
# support(DB)
# plot(DB)

DC <- DB - DA# convolution with of DB with (-DA)
# support(DC)
# plot(DC)

hth,
Matthias
