"sample" to add to probability menu

One of the more important and useful functions, especially for exploratory data analysis in R, is the ability to take N samples from an input provided set with or without replacement.

 

LabVIEW should have that.  It would be relatively straightforward, and would start moving G toward having more shared Venn-diagram with R.

Personally, I think you should look at the NIST EDA techniques library, and built a toolset off of it. https://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda3.htm

 

It is tax-funded source code, so it is something you should be able to access and integrate without too much work.

Sounds like an add--on or toolkit to me. What is preventing you to make it?

wiebe - I'm open to making it, but I don't know how to make a "library" to share.

I know how to make an R-package, but I don't know how to make the LabVIEW equivalent.  If I did, I would share on github (or vipm).

We have the opposite problem: no knowledge of R...

 

It's hard to even 'recognize' the idea. It could be brilliant, but it's hard to get warm for an idea that I don't fully understand.

I wish I could help.  If there was a basic tutorial on how to make a package for VIPM, then maybe I could try?

 

Microsoft is "all-in" (purchase of Revo Analytics, integration into SQL server, good chunk of Azure).  The IEEE list gives R at #7. 

Consider this too: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted

 

MatLab is a hodgepodge, containing Perl, Python, R, C, and Fortran, so it doesn't count as a "pure language".  It is a front-end.

I wasn't doubting R, I just don't know anything about it.

 

Nothing wrong with GitHub. VIPM is a nice to have, it shouldn't be a show stopper.
