make.sample.pop: Generates a sample survey population with ages uniformly...

In vacem: Vaccination Activities Coverage Estimation Model

Description

Generates a sample survey population with ages uniformly distributed in the specified range, (@p age.low, @p age.high), and all assigned the provided observation @p date.

Usage

make.sample.pop(N, age.low, age.high, date)

Arguments

N	the number of samples, i.e. population size
age.low	the minimum age (in months) for the sample population
age.high	the maximum age (in months) for the sample population
date	the observation date to use for all samples

Value

a @c data.frame with @p N rows and two columns: @c date and @c age

@see runif

Note

The lower and upper age limits will not be generated. This function uses @coderunif to generate age values and @c runif does not generate either extreme unless @code low = high or @code max - min is small.

Note

If @p age.high < @p age.low, all generated ages will be @c NaN.

Examples

make.sample.pop( N=10, age.low=0, age.high=25, date="2012-01-01" )

N <- 10
dates <- c( "2005-05-01" ,"2007-07-02", "2009-09-03" )
make.sample.pop( N, 0, 25, array(dates,dim=N) )
