sb_vk: Values v_k to compute the Spatial balance

In WaveSampling: Weakly Associated Vectors (WAVE) Sampling

Values v_k to compute the Spatial balance

Description

Calculates the v_k values of the spatial balance developped by Stevens and Olsen (2004) and suggested by Grafström et al. (2012).

Usage

sb_vk(pik, X, s)

Arguments

pik	vector of the inclusion probabilities. The length should be equal to N.
X	matrix representing the spatial coordinates.
s	A vector of size N with elements equal 0 or 1. The value 1 indicates that the unit is selected while the value 0 is for non-chosen unit.

Details

The spatial balance measure based on the Voronoï polygons is defined by

B(S) = \frac{1}{n}∑_{k\in S} (v_k -1)^2 .

The function return the v_k values and is mainly based on the function sb of the package BalancedSampling Grafström and Lisic (2019).

Value

A vector of size N with elements equal to the v_k values. If the unit is not selected then the value is equal to 0.
