Collapsed Gibbs sampler for hWRU. Internal function

Description

Collapsed Gibbs sampler for hWRU. Internal function

Usage

sample_me(
  last_name,
  first_name,
  mid_name,
  geo,
  N_rg,
  pi_s,
  pi_f,
  pi_m,
  pi_nr,
  which_names,
  samples,
  burnin,
  race_init,
  verbose
)

Arguments

last_name	Integer vector of last name identifiers for each record (zero indexed; as all that follow). Must match columns numbers in M_rs.
first_name	See last_name
mid_name	See last_name
geo	Integer vector of geographic units for each record. Must match column number in N_rg
N_rg	Integer matrix of race | geography counts in census (geograpgies in columns).
pi_s	Numeric matrix of race | surname prior probabilities.
pi_f	Same as pi_s, but for first names.
pi_m	Same as pi_s, but for middle names.
pi_nr	Matrix of marginal probability distribution over missing names; non-keyword names default to this distribution.
which_names	Integer; 0=surname only. 1=surname + first name. 2= surname, first, and middle names.
samples	Integer number of samples to take after (in total)
burnin	Integer number of samples to discard as burn-in of Markov chain
race_init	Integer vector of initial race assignments
verbose	Boolean; should informative messages be printed?
