Hello, How can I randomly sample individuals within a sites from a site (row) X species abundance (column) data frame or matrix? As an example, the matrix "abund2" made below.
##### (sorry, Im a newbie and this is the only way I know to get an example on here) abund1 <- c(150, 300, 0, 360, 150, 300, 0, 240, 150, 0, 60, 0, 150, 0, 540, 0, 0, 300, 0, 240, 300, 300, 0, 360, 300, 0, 600, 0) abund2 <- matrix(data=abund1, nrow=4, ncol=7) colnames(abund2) <- c("spA", "spB", "spC", "spD", "spa", "spF", "spG") rownames(abund2)<-c("site1", "site2", "site3", "site4") ##### > abund2 spA spB spC spD spa spF spG site1 150 150 150 150 0 300 300 site2 300 300 0 0 300 300 0 site3 0 0 60 540 0 0 600 site4 360 240 0 0 240 360 0 How can I make a random subsample of 100 individuals from the abundances given for each site? This is probably really easy. Thanks.
