[R] sampling weights for multilevel models

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

The link you've posted is to a page that does NOT have a dataset, it has 
links to other pages. The proper way of posting a data example would be

# paste the output of this in a post
dput(head(yourdata, 20))  # or 30


Now, if I understand your question, function sample() does have a 
weights argument, 'prob'. (Package base.) See

help("sample")

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
