draw_rs: Draw a random sample

Description

You can either give draw_rs() an declaration, as created by declare_rs or you can specify the other arguments to describe a random sampling procedure.

Usage

draw_rs(declaration = NULL, N = NULL, strata = NULL, clusters = NULL,
  n = NULL, prob = NULL, strata_n = NULL, strata_prob = NULL,
  simple = FALSE, check_inputs = TRUE)

Arguments

declaration

A random sampling declaration, created by declare_rs.

N

The number of units. N must be a positive integer. (required)

strata

A vector of length N that indicates which stratum each unit belongs to.

clusters

A vector of length N that indicates which cluster each unit belongs to.

n

Use for a design in which n units (or clusters) are sampled. In a stratified design, exactly n units in each stratum will be sampled. (optional)

prob

Use for a design in which either floor(N*prob) or ceiling(N*prob) units (or clusters) are sampled. The probability of being sampled is exactly prob because with probability 1-prob, floor(N*prob) units (or clusters) will be sampled and with probability prob, ceiling(N*prob) units (or clusters) will be sampled. prob must be a real number between 0 and 1 inclusive. (optional)

strata_n

Use for a design in which strata_n describes the number of units to sample within each stratum.

strata_prob

Use for a design in which strata_prob describes the probability of being sampled within each stratum. Differs from prob in that the probability of being sampled can vary across strata.

simple

logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, simple random sampling is used. When simple = TRUE, please do not specify n or strata_n. When simple = TRUE, prob may vary by unit.

check_inputs

logical. Defaults to TRUE.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
declaration <- declare_rs(N = 100, n = 30)
S <- draw_rs(declaration = declaration)
table(S)

# equivalent to
S <- draw_rs(N = 100, n = 30)
table(S)

# }
