is.child.ct: Determine whether or not one id is a parent of another

In surveybootstrap: Bootstrap with Survey Data

Determine whether or not one id is a parent of another

Description

This function allows us to determine which ids are directly descended from which other ones. It is the only part of the code that relies on the ID format used by the Curitiba study (see Details); by modifying this function, it should be possible to adapt this code to another study.

Usage

is.child.ct(id, seed.id)

Arguments

id	the id of the potential child
seed.id	the id of the potential parent

American journal of epidemiology, 174(10), 1190-1196.

Value

TRUE if id is the direct descendant of seed.id and FALSE otherwise
