combination-distribution

incanter.distributions

  • (combination-distribution n k)

Create a distribution of all the k-sized combinations of n integers.
Can be considered a multivariate distribution over k-dimensions, where
each dimension is a discrete random variable on the (0, n] range (though
these variables are decidedly non-independent).

A draw from this distribution can also be considered a sample without
replacement from any finite set, where the values in the returned
vector represent the indices of the items in the set.

Arguments:
n The number of possible items from which to select.
k The size of a sample (without replacement) to draw.
