Hi people,

I'm looking at the influence of sample size on a dataset, so I randomly 
sampled from the data with different sample sizes multiple times using 
the "sample" and "replicate" function. For example:

/replicate(1000, sample("variable name", "sample size", replace=T))/.

I saved the data, and now I have 1000 replicates of data of various 
sample sizes (2-33 in my case). If you can picture that one (of 1000) 
iteration is a line of mean values of the variable for each sample size, 
i.e. the sample size (2-33) is on the x-axis and the average variable 
value (number of trees, dogs, cats, whatever) is on the y-axis.

This means I have 1000 replicates of a line. *I'm looking to find the 
average line from several lines *(1000 lines in my case). Does anybody 
know how to do this in R? There was a topic on this using the function 
"approx", but I don't have missing data and my data is on the same scale 
range.

Thanks for your time,
Greg
