Emma, If you haven't spent much time on the r-help forums, please do read the posting guide. You need to provide reproducible examples for us to help you. We don't know anything about your data... what is event.details, (if you can't provide the data often ?str will do) since I don't know what

Hi, Can anyone help sort out the problem with the following script - I am a R newbie and I am self taught. obs.all = c() for(i in 1:386){ if (n.sim[i]>0){ obs = (1:133429)[event.details[,2] == i] obs.all = c(obs.all, sample(obs[obs < n.sim[i]], size = n.sim[i],

And, surely, regardless of R version: resamp <- function(x,...){if(length(x)==1) x else sample(x,...)} resamp((1:10),10) # [1] 8 2 10 6 5 4 3 7 9 1 resamp((1:10),1) # [1] 7 resamp((1:10),1) # [1] 4 resamp((1:10),1) # [1] 10 resamp(10,1) # [1] 10 resamp(10,1) # [

Hi All, I'm trying to use the "sample" function within a loop where the vector being sampled from (the first argument in the function) will vary in length and composition. When the vector is down in size to containing only one element, I run into the "undesired behaviour" acknowledged in the ?
