All of the above makes sense when one study the code of sample(), but sample() is indeed dangerous, e.g. imagine how many bootstrap estimates out there quietly gets incorrect. In order to cover all cases of length(units), including one, a solution is: sampleFrom <- function(x, size=length(x), ...) { n <- length(x); if (n == 1L) { res <- x; } else { res <- sample(x, size=size, ...); } res; } # sampleFrom() > sampleFrom(rep(10, times=2), size=2); [1] 10 10 > sampleFrom(rep(10, times=1), size=1); [1] 10 > sampleFrom(r...

sampling one random frame from each unique trial?
