Dear all, here I need to draw all possible samples of size 2, from a population, which is characterized by c(1,4,56, 3).

Sampling will be done with replacement. Is there any direct R function to faciliate this darwing?

Here is an implementation of such a sample from that matrix.

     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,]   56    4    4    1    4    1    1    1    1     1
[2,]    3    3   56    4    3    4    4    3   56     3
