This is my code:



My dataframe is:



df<-structure(list(BBAS3 = c(22.85, 22.78, 22.8, 22.22, 22.51, 21.11,

I want to create dataframes and put them in a list. The condition to create these dataframes will respect the size of the sample:



I would like to do this with dplyr package.



I did this with a for loop:



samples_size <- c(9,7,5,3)
my_samples <- vector(mode = "list", length(samples_size))

for(i in 1:length(samples_size))

my_samples[[i]]<-df[1:samples_size[i],]



my_samples


How can I do this using dplyr package?



Any help?



Thanks

    There's going to be quite a bit of overlap in those "samples". Are you sure you wouldn't want to select random rows?

  • @42 It is just an example. My real sample is much bigger than this.

  • Do you want to sample rows from your original data frame or do you want to return the first n rows? I ask because that is what I believe your for loop is accomplishing

  • Yes. Laura. That was also what I was asking but apparently you missed it.

I want to create dataframes and put them in a list. The condition to create these dataframes will respect the size of the sample:



I would like to do this with dplyr package.



I did this with a for loop:



samples_size <- c(9,7,5,3)
my_samples <- vector(mode = "list", length(samples_size))

for(i in 1:length(samples_size))

my_samples[[i]]<-df[1:samples_size[i],]



my_samples


How can I do this using dplyr package?



Any help?



Thanks

    There's going to be quite a bit of overlap in those "samples". Are you sure you wouldn't want to select random rows?
