Dear List,
I have a data-frame
#prepare the data
example <- data.frame(letters[1:9],
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9),
sample(letters, 9))
colnames(example) <- c("individuals", 1:8)
I want to sample this
#sample the data
a_1 <- example[sample(nrow(example),3),]
individuals 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
8 h w m r a n v v b
6 f e b g u v r b p
3 c z c s k t e i g
However i want to sample it 500 times, so i need to use the loop function -
which is something, unfortunately i am unsure how to write.
Furthermore, i want to output the results in a data-frame ( i think i need the
list function, but again i am unsure)
Ideally it would be separated by sample but i am unsure if this is possible?
However as long as the order is kept intact that will be fine. I.E the top 3
are sample 1, the next 3 are sample 2 etc
What i require:-
individuals 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
8 h w m r a n v v b
6 f e b g u v r b p
3 c z c s k t e i g
9 h w m f a n v v b
4 f e b g b v r b p
2 c z c s k t e i g
If its not too much to ask: I will then sample it 4 individuals 500 times , 5
individuals etc etc and store these _ i can always do these separately if its
asking too much!
Thanks,
Sam
