Random Samples and Permutations

Description

Provides the generic function sample() and methods to sample from transactions and associations.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'itemMatrix'
sample(x, size, replace = FALSE, prob = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'associations'
sample(x, size, replace = FALSE, prob = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	object to be sampled from (a set of associations or transactions).
size	sample size.
replace	a logical. Sample with replacement?
prob	a numeric vector of probability weights.
...	further arguments.

Value

An object of the same class as x.
