Create dataframe from samples of a vector

Question

Assume we have a vector

v <- 1:3

from which we want to generate a dataframe with 5 rows by applying the

sample

function to

v

. The expected results should be something like this:

Note: It doesn't really matter if some rows are duplicated. I would prefer a solution that doesn't require a forloop.

Answer 1

v = 1:3
data.frame(matrix(sample(v, 5*length(v), replace = T), nrow = 5, ncol = length(v)))
#  X1 X2 X3
#1  3  3  1
#2  1  1  3
#3  3  3  1
#4  2  2  1
#5  3  1  2

# else 
data.frame(t(replicate(5, sample(v, length(v), replace = F))))
# else 
data.frame(t(sapply(1:5, function(x) sample(v, length(v), replace = F))))
