\name{resample}
\alias{resample}
\title{Consistent Random Samples and Permutations}
\description{
Take a sample of the specified size from the
elements of \code{x} using either with or without replacement.
}
\usage{
resample(x, size, replace = FALSE, prob = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{A numeric, complex, character or logical vector from which
to choose.}
\item{size}{Non-negative integer giving the number of items to choose.}
\item{replace}{Should sampling be with replacement?}
\item{prob}{A vector of probability weights for obtaining the elements of
the vector being sampled.}
}
\details{
\code{resample} differs from the S/R \code{sample} function in
\code{resample} always considers \code{x} to be a vector of elements
to select from, while \code{sample} treats a vector of length one as a
special case and samples from \code{1:x}. Otherwise, the functions
have identical behavior.
}
\value{
Vector of the same length as the input, with the elements permuted.

\examples{
## Sample behavior differs if first argument is scalar vs vector
sample(c(10))
sample(c(10, 10))
## Resample has the consistent behavior for both cases
resample(c(10))
resample(c(10, 10))
