[R] generate randomly a value of a vector
Hi everyone, I have a zero vector of length N and I would like to randomly allocate the value 1 to one of the values of this vector. I presume I have to use the uniform distribution but could someone tell me how I should process?

Hi Boris. Here is one approach: N-100 a-rep(0,N) a[sample(N,1)]-1 a which(a==1) Look ?sample, ?which.
