Dear list Is there a way to extract a random sample without duplicated row from a dataframe ?. a=c(1,2,3,1,1,1,2,1) b=c(1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1) c=c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) d=c(1,2,3,1,1,1,2,1) prov<-data.frame(a,b,c,d) prov2<-prov[sample(1:nrow(prov),5,replace=T),] prov2 a b c d 3 3 3 1 3 6 1 1 1 1 3.1 3 3 1 3 5 1 2 1 1 8 1 1 1 1 I tryed the above code but as you can see sample function includes also duplicates. thank you for any tip Guido [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
