Hi!
I'm looking for an alternative to the datasample function. It's a part of the Statistics & Machine Learning toolbox. Any ideas? I want to be able to sample rows of data from tables and matrices and would like to have the choice of sampling with/without replacement.
Thanks for your ideas!

randperm samples without replacement.
To sample with replacement, use randi.

Hi Veena,
Yes, randomperm (without replacement) and randi (with replacement) can be used as an alternative.
Furthermore, if the dataset has been converted to either a matrix or an array format, the rows can be sampled without using a loop as shown in the example as follows,
X = rand(50,10); % Assume X is the dataset
SampledRows = X(randi(50,[200,1]),:); % 200 Sample rows (with replacement)
