Subject: st: How to Randomly Assign 4 Integers to a Dataset?
I have 4 values that I want to randomly assign to the observations in
my dataset.
I do not want this to occur over a range (I know about runiform), all
I have 4 integers (i.e. 1, 5, 15, 20) that I want to randomly assign
to my observations, how do I do that?
I have not been able to find a solution for this problem on the web
or in previous questions, so any help would be greatly appreciates!
Best,
Charlie
