Generic sampling locations function

1 2	sample_locations(method, place_id, n_house, shapefile, noise = 0.001, shapefile_id = NULL)

`method`	character vector either "uniform" or "roads" determining how we are sampling locations
`place_id`	numeric specifiying the ID of the region we are subsampling
`n_house`	numeric indicating the number of households
`shapefile`	sp class with all of the locations for each place id. Note that this is a list with two shapefiles if me
`noise`	the standard deviation of how much we jitter the road locations in each direction (only if method is "roads")
`shapefile_id`	optionally include a shapefile id for subsetting shapefile

SpatialPoints object with coordinates for the n households

data("tartanville")
example_place_id <- tartanville$pop_table$place_id[1] 
example_puma_id <- tartanville$pop_table$puma_id[1] 
example_n_house <- tartanville$pop_table$n_house[1] 
sample_locations(method = "uniform", 
                  shapefile = tartanville$shapefile, 
                  n_house = example_n_house, 
                  place_id = example_place_id)
