Creates a random sample (subset) of a set.
- Usage
sample(n , m)
- n
- the number of elements
- m
- the size of the random sample;
0 < m < n
- Result
- A vector with length m, containing the indices of the selected elements of the set.
- It is assumed that the set is indexed from 0 to n-1 (i.e. the number of elements). The result vector can be applied as an index list on the set to extract the corresponding elements.
