Dear all, I would like to ask whether anyone has experience with the problem below.
I want to select a subset of the sample (see data below) so that each level (1,2,3,4 in the example) for every variable (v1,v2,v3,v4 in the example) is shown at least once in the subset. I also want the sample size of the subset to be as small as possible. Any help on it is greatly appreciated. Id v1 v2 v3 v4 [1,] 1 1 2 4 3 [2,] 2 2 1 3 4 [3,] 3 4 2 4 2 [4,] 4 1 1 2 3 [5,] 5 3 2 3 4 [6,] 6 3 1 1 1 [7,] 7 3 4 3 1 [8,] 8 4 4 4 4 [9,] 9 1 2 2 1 [10,] 10 4 1 1 2 [11,] 11 2 4 3 2 [12,] 12 1 4 2 3 [13,] 13 2 3 3 4 [14,] 14 4 3 1 2 [15,] 15 3 2 1 2 [16,] 16 2 3 2 3 [17,] 17 1 4 1 4 [18,] 18 2 3 4 3 [19,] 19 4 1 4 1 [20,] 20 3 3 2 1 Thanks, Peter [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
