agree  Krzysztof Łesyk: "Data thinning" (without the "out") is another option - one of the many references for that here: http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/sport/conference/pdfs/2008_Bost...

Explanation:
It's statistical meaning.
I guess "thin out" or "cull" is suitable such as when eliminating to make more room for plants to grow by removing the weaker ones.

I selected "sampled" because "sample" in Longman American Dictionary includes the meaning of "a small amount of a product that people can try in order to find out what is like". On the other hand, "cull" means to kill the weakest animals in a group so that the size of the group does not increase too much" in the same dictionary. As long as I read the Japanese sentence above I don't think "間引き" is used in the sentence in such a meaning. I wonder "間引き" is used correctly as Japanese word. I would like to ask Li Gang more about the contents.

I don't think "間引きされた" is suitable use in the context because "間引き" is often used in the meaning above. See Japanese dictionary in http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?p=間引き&stype=0&dtype=0.
I recommend "sampled" as sample in the meaning of such as "sample frequency". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_rate.

disagree  Roland Hechtenberg: When I enter sampled data into Denjikai, I get サンプル値データ　or only サンプル値.

  -> Thank you. But I don't agree with you. See my added note.
disagree  Tomoyuki Kono: Plants? Animals? Why? The context is in the sentence: CSV data. 'Cull' has more meanings than the ones you refer to.

  -> Thank you for comment. I found out the meaning of "to select from a group; choose" in Longman New Universal Dictionary.
neutral  Krzysztof Łesyk: I see where you're coming from (I think), but we're talking about reducing the amount of data that was sampled in the first place (to obtain it) to 1000 elements - making it a sampling of a sampling, so to speak. That "second sampling" is called thinning.

  -> Thank you for comment. "Subsampled" may be OK because I can see "subsampling" in the URL you refer to.
