You want to split your data to two groups according to the value of var1 and var2 and in the same time to keep both groups the same size? It seems to me rather contradictive. If you want to sample your data without replacement into 2 groups with same number of members just sample a vector of indices sel<-sample(1:20, 10) x<-1:20 x[sel] [1] 20 3 13 12 14 7 11 1 5 2 x[-sel] [1] 4 6 8 9 10 15 16 17 18 19 Regards Petr > > Judith > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Never miss a thing.
