preseqR.nonreplace.sampling: Sampling

Description

Generating a histogram by subsampling without replacement.

Usage

preseqR.nonreplace.sampling(n, size)

Arguments

n

A two-column matrix. The first column is the frequency $j=1,2,\dots$; and the second column is $N_j$, the number of species represented exactly $j$ times in the initial sample. The first column must be sorted in an ascending order.

size

An positive integer representing the size of the subsample.

Value

A two-column matrix as a subsample. The first column is the frequency $j=1,2,\dots$; and the second column is $N_j$, the number of species represented $j$ times in the subsample.

Details

preseqR.nonreplace.sampling generates a subsample by sampling the initial sample without replacement. sample in $R$ is used to implement the function. We wrap up this function in such a way that both the input and the output are histograms.
