I have 4 values that I want to randomly assign to the observations in my dataset. I do not want this to occur over a range (I know about runiform), all I have 4 integers (i.e. 1, 5, 15, 20) that I want to randomly assign to my observations, how do I do that? I have not been able to find a solution for this problem on the web or in previous questions, so any help would be greatly appreciates!
