Hi all, I have a matrix of 474 rows (samples) with 565 columns (variables). each of the 474 samples belong to one of 120 groups, with the groupings as a column in the above matrix. For example, the group column would be:
1 1 1 2 2 2 . . . 120 120 I want to randomly select one from each group. Not all the groups have the same number of samples, some have 4, some 3 etc. Is there a function to do this, or would I need to write a looping statement to look at each successive group? I basically want to combine the randomly selected samples from the 120 groups into a new matrix in order to perform a cluster analysis. Thanks, Wade ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
