Examples

# Based on capital cost (g)
G <- multiclonesrules(Birmingham$g, Birmingham$eta, c("SEC", "CEC", "SM"), 
group_contribution = FALSE, agents_names = Birmingham$i, labels = FALSE)
(cost_allocation <- round(G, 2))

# Based on capital cost (g) + add maintenance cost per movement (c)
sweep(cost_allocation, MARGIN = 2, Birmingham$c, FUN = "+")
