Hi Taby, this is not best solution for sure but it will give you, maybe, some ideas :) I am also looking forward to see other solutions.
data<-data.frame(id=1:(165+42),x=rep(c("male","female"),c(42,165))) f<-function(x) { str.sample<-list() for (i in 1:length(levels(x$x))) { str.sample[[i]]<-x[x$x==levels(x$x)[i] ,][sample(tapply(x$x,x$x,length)[i],20,rep=T),] } strat.sample<-do.call("rbind",str.sample) return(strat.sample) } f(data) repl<-list() for(i in 1:1000) { repl[[i]]<-f(data) } repl Andrija On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 10:04 AM, taby gathoni <tab...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Please note is with replacement > > > > From: taby gathoni <tab...@yahoo.com> > To: R help <r-help@r-project.org> > Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 11:53 AM > Subject: [R] random sampling steps in R > > Dear all, > > Could someone assist me in random sampling steps/code in R?
