Re: [R] sample function with different proportions

Well, you can have exactly 70:30%, i.e. 70% 1s and 30% 0s, but in random order. For example: Popn <- c(rep(1,70),rep(0,30)) Samp <- sample(Pop) (see '?sample' for this usage -- the result of sample(x) is a random permutation of the elements of x). In probabilistic terms, this is a "condition

[R] sample function with different proportions

2011-07-05 Thread Ana Kolar
Hi there, I guess this is an easy one, but still:  I would like to randomly sample 0s and 1s but in a way that I end up having for example 70% of 1s and the rest of 0s and not 50:50 as this function does: sample(c(0,1), 100, replace = TRUE) Any recommendations? Many thanks! Ana [[al
