R: Sample values from a set of elements

resample {R.utils} | R Documentation

## Sample values from a set of elements

### Description

Sample values from a set of elements. Contrary to `sample`(), this function also works as expected when there is only one element in the set to be sampled, cf. [1]. This function originates from the example code of `sample`() as of R v2.12.0.

### Usage

    ## Default S3 method:
    resample(x, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | A `vector` of any length and data type.
`...` | Additional arguments passed to `sample.int`().

### Value

Returns a sampled `vector` of the same data types as argument `x`.
