Sampling from Discrete Distributions
One common problem in implementing statistical algorithms is being able to sample from an arbitrary distribution: suppose you have N objects, each with a different probability of being chosen - how do you sample these objects? We apply the solution to sampling from a weighted dataset to get unbiased estimates of the original dataset.
