dice-package {dice} | R Documentation |
This package provides utilities to calculate the probabilities of various dice-rolling events, such as the probability of rolling six four-sided dice and getting a 4, a 3, and either a 1 or 2 among the six rolls (in any order) or the probabilities of each possible total of rolling five six-sided dice, dropping the lowest two rolls, and summing the remaining dice.

Although initially conceived as a utility for role-playing game calculations, functions in the dice
package can be used to answer questions in any dice-rolling context (e.g., calculating probabilities for the game of craps, solving problems for an introductory probability course, etc.)
The dice
package requires the gtools
package.

The implementation for the getTotalProbs function originated with the ideas presented in the following forum thread:
http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=56352&page=1&pp=40
getOutcomeProb(ndice = 6, nsides = 4, outcomeList = list(4, 3, c(1,2))) getTotalProbs(ndice = 5, nsides = 6, nkept = 3)
