In AIscreenR: AI Screening Tools in R for Systematic Reviewing

Random sample references

Description

sample_referencessamples n rows from the dataset with titles and abstracts either with or without replacement. This function is supposed to support the construct of a test dataset, as suggested by Vembye et al. (2024).

Usage

sample_references(
  data,
  n,
  with_replacement = FALSE,
  prob_vec = rep(1/n, nrow(data))
)

Arguments

data	Dataset containing the titles and abstracts wanted to be screened.
n	A non-negative integer giving the number of rows to choose.
with_replacement	Logical indicating if sampling should be done with of without replacement. Default is FALSE.
prob_vec	'A vector of probability weights for obtaining the elements of the vector being sampled.' Default is a vector of 1/n.

Value

A dataset with n rows.
