hello R-Wizards!!!!! again i'm invoking your presence!! since all the fuss about the paradoxes on a computer algorithm generating "caos" or un-determinancy, i recently grew quite curious about the mechanism underlying the procedure of NUMBER RADOMIZATION. could anyone of you, masters, attach me the algorithm (or source code? is it right?) behind the *sample()* function, so i can inspect in detail the mechanism of this so gossiped "radomization"? thank you, sincerely federico bonofiglio, student of statistics at milano bicocca university, italia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
