[R] Nested structure data simulation

[Linus Chen]

Dear varin sacha,

Not very sure what you want, but will the following help a little?

tmp <- rep(c("C1","C2","C3","C4","C5","C6"), 50) # make a character
vector, with 50 "C1", 50 "C2", ...
classroom <- tmp[sample(1:300)] # make a random permutation.

Certainly you may also make it into one line:
classroom <- rep(c("C1","C2","C3","C4","C5","C6"), 50) [sample(1:30)]

Best,
Lei Chen

I mean 50 pupils belonging to C1, 50 other pupils belonging to C2, 50 other pupils belonging to C3 and so on. Then I want the 50 pupils belonging to C1 with T1, the 50 pupils belonging to C2 with T2, the 50 pupils belonging to C3 with T3 and so on. The school don’t have to be nested, I just want a balanced distribution, I mean 60 pupils in S1, 60 other pupils in S2 and so on.
