Thanks Uwe, Your strata suggestion works, thank you, but it has created a dataset of random rows but without the data, other columns involved. You see I would further like to use this random sample for a DFA (lda) analysis. Can you suggest how I would use the strata function to sample a subset of the data.frame?
