spew_place: Generate synthetic ecosystem for single place
In spew: SPEW Framework for Generating Synthetic Ecosystems

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Used by 'spew' to split the generated of synthetic ecosytstems into independent regions.

spew_place(index, pop_table, shapefile, pums_h, pums_p, schools = NULL,
  workplaces = NULL, marginals = NULL, output_type = "console",
  sampling_method = "uniform", locations_method = "uniform",
  convert_count = FALSE, output_dir = NULL, road_noise = 2e-04,
  timer = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

`index`	specfic row of pop-table to generate
`pop_table`	dataframe where rows correspond to places where populations should be generated. Other requird columns are "n_house" and "puma_id"
`shapefile`	sp class object used for assigning households to particular locations
`pums_h`	dataframe with microdata corresponding to housegolds
`pums_p`	dataframe with microdata corresponding to people
`schools`	list with names "public" and "private" with a dataframe of schools corresponding to public or private, respectively
`workplaces`	dataframe of workplaces with a workplace_id column, employees column, and stcotr column
`marginals`	list of marginal population totals. Each element of the list contains the marginal totals of a separate variable
`output_type`	Default is "console" if we want to resulting population as an R variable. Alternative is "write", which is used on Olympus for writing out .csv files of the population
`sampling_method`	character indicating the type of sampling method to use, defaults to "uniform". Can also be "ipf" with appropriate marginal data.
`locations_method`	character indicating the type of location sampling to use, defaults to "uniform", can also be "roads".
`convert_count`	logical meant to indicate if we are going to convert population totals from people to household counts. Default: FALSE, assumes the population is the total number of households
`output_dir`	directory to write output if output_type = "write", NULL otherwise
`road_noise`	Noise added to households during road-based sampling
`timer`	logical indicating we want to time the run
`verbose`	logical indicating we want to print output during the run. Default is FALSE.#'
