#' Default \code{patterns} in \code{ampute}
#'
#' This function creates a default pattern matrix for the multivariate
#' amputation function \code{ampute()}.
#'
#' @param n A scalar specifying the number of variables in the data.
#' @return A square matrix of size \code{n} where \code{0} indicates a variable
#  should have missing values and \code{1} indicates a variable should remain
#  complete. Each pattern has missingness on one variable only.
#' @seealso \code{\link{ampute}}, \code{\link{md.pattern}}

#' Default \code{freq} in \code{ampute}
#'
#' Defines the default relative frequency vector for the multivariate
#' amputation function \code{ampute}.
#'
#' @param patterns A matrix of size #patterns by #variables where \code{0} indicates
#' a variable should have missing values and \code{1} indicates a variable should
#' remain complete. Could be the result of \code{\link{ampute.default.patterns}}.
#' @return A vector of length #patterns containing the relative frequencies with
#' which the patterns should occur. An equal probability is given to each pattern.

#' Default \code{weights} in \code{ampute}
#'
#' Defines the default weights matrix for the multivariate amputation function
#' \code{ampute}.
#'
#' @param patterns A matrix of size #patterns by #variables where \code{0} indicates
#' a variable should have missing values and \code{1} indicates a variable should
#' remain complete. Could be the result of \code{\link{ampute.default.patterns}}.
#' @param mech A string specifying the missingness mechanism.
#' @return A matrix of size #patterns by #variables containing the weights that
#' will be used to calculate the weighted sum scores. Equal weights are given to
#' all variables. When mechanism is MAR, variables that will be amputed will be
#' weighted with \code{0}. If it is MNAR, variables that will be observed
#' will be weighted with \code{0}. If mechanism is MCAR, the weights matrix will
#' not be used. A default MAR matrix will be returned.
