runif and sample with reproducibility
Hallo I think I have seen an answer to it but did not search for it. set.seed() with sample() is perfectly reprodicble for me (well, I tried it only three times :-)
set.seed(111) sample(1:100,10)
[1] 8 93 38 14 23 51 86 31 75 34
set.seed(111) sample(1:100,10)
[1] 8 93 38 14 23 51 86 31 75 34
set.seed(111) sample(1:100,10)
[1] 8 93 38 14 23 51 86 31 75 34 I suspect you called "set seed" only once. Cheers Petr

Hello, I already sent such an email before Christmas, but nobody answered, so here is my problem: I would like to sample a population but the result needs to be reproducible, using 'runif' or 'sample' is the good way to do it but I can't manage to make the results reproducible even with the 'set.seed' function. My aim is that th call to 'sample(1:100,10)' gives always the same result, how can I do that? Thanks! Eric Esposito
