Creating a list of random vectors in R
r, random, vector
Solution
In cases like this, I often use the `replicate` function:
list.of.samples <- replicate(1000, sample(1:100,size=10), simplify=FALSE)
It repeatedly evaluates its second argument. Setting `simplify=FALSE` means you get back a list, not an array.
Problem
I am trying to create a list 1000 entries long where each entry of the list a random vector. In this case the vector should be a 10 integers chosen from the integers 1 to 100. I want to avoid doing this in a loop. If I run the following, this does not sample again, but just replicates the sample across all 1000 entries of the list: ``` list.of.samples <- rep(list(sample(1:100,size=10)),1000) ``` Is there an easy way that I am missing to vectorize the generation of these 1000 samples and store them in a list?
