Rachel,

The first thing to do when a function gives you trouble is
to look at its help page. In the case of sample(), you will
find that it requires a *vector* input. Is your gly a vector?

Hi All,

I want to take a simple random sample from a large dataset, gly, but I'm
getting an error message.  Any help?

dim(gly)

[1] 112371     37

s1 <- sample(gly,100)

Error in `[.data.frame`(x, .Internal(sample(length(x), size, replace,  :


  cannot take a sample larger than the population when 'replace = FALSE'

Thanks,

Rachel
