Run help.request().

In particular you need to attend to this part:

Have you written example code that is
 - minimal
 - reproducible
 - self-contained
 - commented
using data that is either
 - constructed by the code
 - loaded by data()
 - reproduced using dump("mydata", file = "")
have you checked this code in a fresh R session (invoking R with the --vanilla option if possible) and is this code copied to the clipboard? (y/n)

----

Once you get this far and can honestly type 'y', if you have not found your error, you are ready to post a query.

HTH,

Hello R users,
I have gene expression data of two groups of genes (large and small). Gene 
expression intensities of those genes are classified into 1 to 10 levels. What 
I want is to make a random set of genes that have the same levels as the small 
group from large group using sample().

I used smallvec to hold the number of genes in each levels (1 to 10) for small 
group, largevec for large group. I ordered the gene expression data frame of 
large group (largedf) by the levels and randomly chose the genes with same 
level as small group. Using the code below I can get the random set of genes 
from lagre group with same levels for small group. But I got the same set of 
genes when I run the code in every other runs in Linux. This gives me a doubt 
in my result.

smallvec<-c(8,12,9,6,13,20,16,11,8,5) ## the No. of genes in levels 1 to 10
largevec<-c(400,300,550,600,210,420,380,600,450,500)
generdm<-c() ## a random set of genes
for( i in 1:length(smallvec)){
   
generdm<-c(generdm,sample(rownames(largedf)[sum(largevec[0:(i-1)],1):sum(largevec[0:i])],smallvec[i]))
 ## rownames(largedf) gives gene names ordered by levels in large group
}

Could you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!!
Josh
