Hello, BobDuin.
what is the relation between a sample weight and the probability that it is selected?
(gendatw).
Thanks a lot.

If a weight is twice as large, it is two times more probable it is selected, e.g.

a = dataset([1 2 3 4 5]’); % 5 objects in 1D
w = [4 4 2 2 1]; % their weights
x = gendatw(a,w,10000); % generate 10000 new objects
histc(+x,[1:5]) % show a histogram

ans =

3067
3094
1558
1528
753

Bob

Thanks a lot!
