[R] Random sampling while keeping distribution of nearest neighbor distances constant.

Dear All, I cannot find a solution to the following problem although I imagine that it is a classic, hence my email. I have a vector V of X values comprised between 1 and N. I would like to get random samples of X values also comprised between 1 and N, but the important point is: * I would like

[R] Random sampling while keeping distribution of nearest neighbor distances constant.

Dear All,(my apologies if it got posted twice, it seems it didn't get through) I cannot find a solution to the following problem although I suppose this is a classic. I have a vector V of X=length(V) values comprised between 1 and N. I would like to get random samples of X values also

But if the 1st order differences are the same, then doesn't it follow that the 2nd, 3rd, ... order differences must be the same between the original and the new random vector.  What am I missing? You are missing nothing sorry, I wrote something wrong. What I would like to be preserved is the
