Weighted random sample without replacement in python

by

You can use np.random.choice with replace=False as follows:

np.random.choice(vec,size,replace=False, p=P)

where vec is your population and P is the weight vector.

For example:

import numpy as np
vec=[1,2,3]
P=[0.5,0.2,0.3]
np.random.choice(vec,size=2,replace=False, p=P)
