Below a function that create a list of sub-samples of the same size which is not exactly what you wanted but might prove usefull for others. In my case to create multiple classification trees on smaller samples to test overfitting :
df_split <- function (df, number){
sizedf <- length(df[,1])
bound <- sizedf/number
list <- list()
for (i in 1:number){
list[i] <- list(df[((i*bound+1)-bound):(i*bound),])
}
return(list)
}
Example :
x <- matrix(c(1:10), ncol=1)
x
# [,1]
# [1,] 1
# [2,] 2
# [3,] 3
# [4,] 4
# [5,] 5
# [6,] 6
# [7,] 7
# [8,] 8
# [9,] 9
#[10,] 10
x.split <- df_split(x,5)
x.split
# [[1]]
# [1] 1 2
# [[2]]
# [1] 3 4
# [[3]]
# [1] 5 6
# [[4]]
# [1] 7 8
# [[5]]
# [1] 9 10
