In benthos: Marine Benthic Ecosystem Analysis

Pooling

Description

This function randomly assigns samples to pools of approximately equal area

Usage

pool(sample_id = 1:length(area), area, target_area, max_try = 100L)

.pool(sample_id = 1:length(area), area, target_area, max_try = 100L)

Arguments

sample_id	sample identifier
area	sampling area of sample_id (in the same units as target_area)
target_area	vector of length 2 containing the lower and upper bound of the pooled area (same units as area)
max_try	maximum number of unsuccessful pooling tries before the algorithm gives up.

Value

vector with idenitifiers (integers) indicating the pool to which each sample belongs (NA for samples that could not be pooled)

Functions

• .pool(): internal function not supposed to be called directly.
