Hi:
A couple more approaches to consider:
# Utility function to extract two rows from a data frame
# Meant to be applied to each data subset
sampler <- function(d) if(nrow(d) > 2) d[sample(1:nrow(d), 2, replace =
FALSE), ] else d
library(plyr)
> ddply(x, 'id', sampler)
id v1 V2
1 1 2 13
2 1 1 12
3 2 4 15
4 2 6 17
5 3 8 19
6 3 10 21
7 4 11 22
8 4 12 23
library(data.table)
dtx <- data.table(x, key = 'id')
> dtx[, sampler(.SD), by = 'id']
id v1 V2
[1,] 1 1 12
[2,] 1 3 14
[3,] 2 5 16
[4,] 2 7 18
[5,] 3 9 20
[6,] 3 10 21
[7,] 4 11 22
[8,] 4 12 23
HTH,
Dennis
