Hello,
I would like to randomly select one row by group from a matrix. Here is an
example where there is one row by group. The code gives an error message:
test <- matrix(c(4,4, 6,2, 1,2), nrow = 2, ncol = 3, dimnames = list(NULL,
c("xcor", "ycor", "id")))
do.call(rbind, lapply(split(test, test[,c("id")]), function(x)
x[sample(nrow(x), 1), ]))
Show Traceback
Rerun with Debug
Error in sample.int(length(x), size, replace, prob) :
invalid first argument
How can I modify the code so that it works when there are several rows or one
row for a given group?
Thanks very much for your time
Have a nice day
Marine
