I have a dataset of 20k records heavily right skewed as pareto distribution, I'd like to pull 1k subset of it with same distribution, any R package would do that? Thanks.

Why not just: subdat <- dat[sample( nrow(dat), 1000), ] # if "dataset" is a dataframe Or: subdat <- dat[sample( length(dat), 1000) ] # if "dataset" is a vector
Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
