[R] random generation of a factor

[Christian Bieli]

Hi everybody

Does anybody know a function that generates a factor of length N with K 
levels given the proportions c(p1, p2,... ,pk)? It would not be too hard 
to write it for myself, but if there's a preexisting one..
I searched the documentation and the help archive, but could not find 
anything helpful.

Thanks a lot.
