Examples

# basic usage
start_method(start_func = start_resample)

# adjust the number of observations
start_method(
  start_func = start_resample,
  start_data = acs_start_nw,
  n = 10
)

# adjust the number of observations and use all combinations as support
start_method(
  start_func = start_resample,
  start_data = acs_start_nw,
  n = 10, 
  inv_noise_scale = 1,
  support = "all"
)
