[R] how to randomize a vector

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Why didn't you do this in R?

> help.search("random sample")
Help files with alias or concept or title matching 'random sample'
using fuzzy matching:



sample(base)            Random Samples and Permutations



Type 'help(FOO, package = PKG)' to inspect entry 'FOO(PKG) TITLE'.
> 

See ?sample, e.g.

> t1 <- rnorm(70000)
> system.time(t2 <- sample(t1,size=length(t1)))
   user  system elapsed 
   0.01    0.00    0.01
