Hello Jumlong,

I'm not sure whether by '100 records' you mean a vector of 100
values
or a matrix / data.frame of 100 rows.

For a vector or matrix X you can do this:

X[ sample( length(X), 5 ) ] <- NA

For a data.frame X you could do this:

X[ sample( nrow(X), 5 ), sample( ncol(X), 5) ] <- NA

Hope this helps,

Michael
