Create a factor with random elements of x

Sample elements from x with replacing and build a factor

sample_fct(x, n, ...)

sample_yn(n)

rep_n(val, n, ...)

seq_n(n, ...)

Arguments

x	character vector or factor, if character vector then it is also used as levels of the returned factor, otherwise if it is a factor then the levels get used as the new levels
n	number of observations to sample.
...	arguments passed on to sample
val	ANY. Single value to be repeated n times

Value

a factor of length N

Examples

sample_fct(letters[1:3], 10)
#>  [1] b c a a a b b c c b
#> Levels: a b c
sample_fct(iris$Species, 10)
#>  [1] setosa     virginica  setosa     versicolor setosa     virginica 
#>  [7] setosa     virginica  setosa     setosa    
#> Levels: setosa versicolor virginica

sample_yn(3)
#> [1] Y Y N
#> Levels: Y N

rep_n("aaa", 5)
#> [1] "aaa" "aaa" "aaa" "aaa" "aaa"
rep_n(1:5, 2)
#>  [1] 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5

seq_n(10)
#>  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
