  n,
  x = datasets::state.name,
  prob = wakefield::state_populations[["Proportion"]],
  name = "State"
)

Arguments

n	The number elements to generate. This can be globally set within the environment of r_data_frame or r_list.
x	A vector of elements to chose from.
prob	A vector of probabilities to chose from.
name	The name to assign to the output vector's varname attribute. This is used to auto assign names to the column/vector name when used inside of r_data_frame or r_list.
