Hello, I need to select a sample from a small population using simple random sampling without replacement. I've found two possibilities in R, the function sample() and the function S.SI() in the package TeachingSampling, but I don't know which one is better. Can someone help me? Thank you

Hello Lourdes, sample() is quite capable and is what I use for bootstrapping, etc. I am not familiar with S.SI(), but my guess is that it probably uses sample() under the hood. Though, it does appear that it returns some additional information that may be handy, depending on your needs. HTH, ~Jason
