Re: [R] sample (randomly select) to get a number of successive days

Thank you so much Marc, that is exactly what I need. That will save me weeks of work and additionally I learned a lot. :-) Have a great day! Dagmar Hi, Given that your original data frame example is: myframe <- data.frame (Timestamp=c("24.09.2012 09:00:00", "24.09.2012 10:00:00","25.09.2012

Re: [R] sample (randomly select) to get a number of successive days

Hi Marc, Yes, you got it to the point! That is exactly what I want. But I do not know how to do that. I know how to randomly pick the first day but I do not know how to set a range of values which cover the 25 days starting from that random value. Best, Dagmar Hi, I am confused. As far as

Re: [R] sample (randomly select) to get a number of successive days

Hi, I am confused. As far as I can tell, only the first day is selected randomly from your dataset. The subsequent 24 days are deterministic, since they need to be consecutive days from the first day, for a total of 25 consecutive days. Thus, all you need to do is to randomly select 1 day

[R] sample (randomly select) to get a number of successive days

Hi Jim and everyone else, Mhm, no this is not what I am looking for. I think in your way I would randomly sample two values of day 1 and of day 2. But I want the opposite: I want to randomly draw two successive (!) days and put those values in a new dataframe to continue working with them. In
