pool: Pooling

Description

This function randomly assigns samples to pools of approximately equal area

Usage

pool(sample_id = 1:length(area), area, target_area, max_try = 100L)

.pool(sample_id = 1:length(area), area, target_area, max_try = 100L)

Value

vector with idenitifiers (integers) indicating the pool to which each sample belongs (NA for samples that could not be pooled)

Arguments

sample_id

sample identifier

area

sampling area of sample_id (in the same units as target_area)

target_area

vector of length 2 containing the lower and upper bound of the pooled area (same units as area)

max_try

maximum number of unsuccessful pooling tries before the algorithm gives up.
