Hello! Assuming I have a vector, such as
v <- c(1,2,1,2,3,3,1) This vector has three unique elements: 1, 2, and 3. > unique(v) [1] 1 2 3 If I shuffle this vector of unique elements, I get something like this: > sample(unique(v)) [1] 3 2 1 In the vector v I started with, I would now like to replace each element in unique(v) with the corresponding element (i.e. the element with the same index) in sample(unique(v)). In this case, the result should be something like c(3,2,3,2,1,1,3). In particular, I would like to do this without a slow for loop. I have tried things like sub(), but they don't seem to be appropriate. Can anyone provide an elegant solution?
