Your last step will either be a single number (not really a sampling operation) or a non-positive number. So at best you really only have an number that depends entirely on the prior sequence of draws. -- David. On May 28, 2009, at 8:21 AM, jos matejus wrote: Dear Ritchie and David, Thank

This is one way of sampling all the values in the matrix that meet your criteria: > set.seed(1) > (x <- matrix(rnorm(100), 10)) [,1][,2][,3][,4] [,5] [,6][,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,] -0.6264538 1.51178117 0.91897737 1.35867955 -

Dear Ritchie and David, Thanks very much for your advice. I had thought of this potential solution, however it doesn't really fullfill my second criteria which is that once a particular cell has been sampled, the row and column of that cell can't be sampled from subsequently. In other words, the n

Dear R users, I have a matrix of both negative and positive values that I would like to randomly sample with the following 2 conditions: 1. only sample positive values 2. once a cell in the matrix has been sampled the row and column of that cell cannot be sampled from again. #some dummy data set
