[R] [FORGED] Generating random data with non-linear correlation between two variables

[Muhammad Bilal]

No its not. I am doing all these experiments for my own learning purpose. I am Oracle SQL & PLSQL programmer and  I can do these things with Oracle analytical functions.

However at present I am keen to learn R, with no other interest right now.

Thanks

This sounds to me very much like a homework problem.  We don't do
people's homework for them on this list.
