How to randomize (or permute) a dataframe rowwise and columnwise?

by

Given the R data.frame:

> df1
  a b c
1 1 1 0
2 1 0 0
3 0 1 0
4 0 0 0

Shuffle row-wise:

> df2 <- df1[sample(nrow(df1)),]
> df2
  a b c
3 0 1 0
4 0 0 0
2 1 0 0
1 1 1 0

By default sample() randomly reorders the elements passed as the first argument. This means that the default size is the size of the passed array. Passing parameter replace=FALSE (the default) to sample(...) ensures that sampling is done without replacement which accomplishes a row wise shuffle.

Shuffle column-wise:

> df3 <- df1[,sample(ncol(df1))]
> df3
  c a b
1 0 1 1
2 0 1 0
3 0 0 1
4 0 0 0
