Matlab newbie - sampling with replacement

Hi,

I have a probability array 'probs'. probs(i) is the probability I will select an ith row in the matrix A. How do I simulate this?

I want to select at least 'k' rows from this matrix. What I was thinking was something like:

    rows_select = zeros(1,k)
    rows_select_index = 0
    probs_index = 0
    while true:
      prob_i = probs(probs_index)

      flip_coin = Bernouli(prob_i)

      if flip_coin == 1, ( row_select(rows_select_index) = probs_index; rows_select_index++;)
      probs_index ++;
      if (probs_index == k) break

Does that make any sense?

That's not MATLAB code. Maybe you should be asking in a different forum.

Oh.. That was meant to be a pseudocode.. and I am trying to replicate it in matlab
