No, it will not, except possibly by chance: if the draws of sample are IID (and they are supposed to be) there's no reason to expect them not to overlap.
If you want that -- and I'm not sure it's totally on the level bootstrapping-wise -- you need to decide which ones to remove all in one fell swoop: Something like this: ToDrop <- matrix(sample(100, 50, replace = FALSE), ncol = 10) apply(ToDrop, 2, function(x) pop[-x]) Michael On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 7:56 PM, Vikram Chhatre <crypticline...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello - > > I have a population of 100 individuals that I would like to bootstrap > 10 times, every time removing 5 *different* individuals. > > So far, I have done the following: > > pop <- read.table('mypop.txt', header=FALSE) > > replicate(10, sample(pop, 95, replace=FALSE)) > > I have not actually gone through each of the 10 files created to make > sure no single individual was removed more than once during the 10 > bootstraps.
