expandIntervals: Split wide intervals into narrower ones

In StatisticsNZ/dembase: Analysing Cross-Classified Data about Populations

Description

Split a dimension with dimscale "Intervals" into smaller units, and redistribute counts within these smaller units.

Usage

expandIntervals(
  object,
  dimension,
  breaks = NULL,
  width = NULL,
  old = NULL,
  weights,
  means = FALSE
)

## S4 method for signature 'Counts,ANY,numeric,missing,missing,missing'
expandIntervals(
  object,
  dimension,
  breaks = NULL,
  width = NULL,
  old = NULL,
  weights,
  means = FALSE
)

## S4 method for signature 'Counts,ANY,missing,numeric,missing,missing'
expandIntervals(
  object,
  dimension,
  breaks = NULL,
  width = NULL,
  old = NULL,
  weights
)

Arguments

object	Object of class DemographicArray.
dimension	Name or index of the dimension where the intervals are found.
breaks	Numeric vector giving the breaks between intervals after the splitting has occurred.
width	The length of the intervals after the splitting has occurred.
old	The labels of the intervals to be split. NOT CURRENTLY USED.
weights	Object of class Counts. NOT CURRENTLY USED.
means	If FALSE (the default) the allocation is done randomly; if TRUE, values are set equal to their means.
