First expand your data frame into a vector where G1 is repeated 25 times, G2 is repeated 15 times, etc. Then draw random samples of 40 from that vector:
> grp <- rep(mydat$group, mydat$count) > grp.sam <- sample(grp, 40) > table(grp.sam) grp.sam G1 G2 G3 G4 G5 10 9 5 13 3 ---------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help <r-help-boun...@r-project.org> On Behalf Of Val Sent: Monday, February 11, 2019 4:36 PM To: r-help@R-project.org (r-help@r-project.org) <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: [R] Select Hi all, I have a data frame with tow variables group and its size. mydat<- read.table( text='group count G1 25 G2 15 G3 12 G4 31 G5 10' , header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE ) I want to select group ID randomly (without replacement) until the sum of count reaches 40. So, in the first case, the data frame could be G4 31 65 10 In other case, it could be G5 10 G2 15 G3 12 How do I put sum of count variable is a minimum of 40 restriction?
