In simFrame: Simulation Framework

Description Usage Arguments Value Methods Author(s) References See Also Examples

Return the first parts of an object.

## S4 method for signature 'SampleSetup'
head(x, k = 6, n = 6, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SimControl'
head(x)

## S4 method for signature 'SimResults'
head(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Strata'
head(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'VirtualContControl'
head(x)

## S4 method for signature 'VirtualDataControl'
head(x)

## S4 method for signature 'VirtualNAControl'
head(x)

## S4 method for signature 'VirtualSampleControl'
head(x)

`x`	an object.
`k`	for objects of class `"SampleSetup"`, the number of set up samples to be kept in the resulting object.
`n`	for objects of class `"SampleSetup"`, the number of indices to be kept in each of the set up samples in the resulting object.
`...`	additional arguments to be passed down to methods.

An object of the same class as x, but in general smaller. See the “Methods” section below for details.

signature(x = "SampleSetup"): returns the first parts of set up samples. The first n indices of each of the first k set up samples are kept.
signature(x = "SimControl"): currently returns the object itself.
signature(x = "SimResults"): returns the first parts of simulation results. The method of head for the data.frame in slot values is thereby called.
signature(x = "Strata"): returns the first parts of strata information. The method of head for the vector in slot values is thereby called and the slots split and size are adapted accordingly.
signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): currently returns the object itself.
signature(x = "VirtualDataControl"): currently returns the object itself.
signature(x = "VirtualNAControl"): currently returns the object itself.
signature(x = "VirtualSampleControl"): currently returns the object itself.

## load data
data(eusilcP)

## class "SampleSetup"
# set up samples using group sampling
set <- setup(eusilcP, grouping = "hid", size = 1000, k = 50)
summary(set)
# get the first 10 indices of each of the first 5 samples
head(set, k = 5, n = 10)

## class "Strata"
# set up samples using group sampling
strata <- stratify(eusilcP, "region")
summary(strata)
# get strata information for the first 10 observations
head(strata, 10)
