sample2: Takes samples in the usual manner

Description

The standard sample function in R samples from n numbers when x = n. This is unwanted behavior when the size of the vector to sample from changes dynamically. This is corrected in sample2

Usage

sample2(x,size,replace = FALSE,prob = NULL)

Arguments

x

A vector of one or more elements

size

A non-negative integer giving the number of items to choose.

replace

Should sampling be with replacement?

prob

A vector of probability weights for obtaining the elements of the vector being sampled.

Value

sam

A vector of length size that is sampled from x.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
sample(x = 10,size = 5,replace = TRUE)
sample2(x = 10,size = 5,replace = TRUE)
# }
