Define Survey

Description

This function defines the Strata associated to different surveys (in the sense that a separate estimate should be made for those strata).

Usage

DefineSurvey(
  processData,
  UseProcessData = FALSE,
  DefinitionMethod = c("AllStrata", "Table", "ResourceFile"),
  StratumPolygon,
  SurveyTable = data.table::data.table(),
  FileName = character()
)

Arguments

processData	The current data produced by a previous instance of the function.
UseProcessData	Logical: If TRUE use the existing function output in the process.
DefinitionMethod	Character: A string naming the method to use, one of "AllStrata", which defines all strata as the same survey named "Survey"; "Table", which requires the SurveyTable to be given; and "ResourceFile" to read from a project.xml file from StoX 2.7.
StratumPolygon	The StratumPolygon process data.
SurveyTable	A table of the two columns Stratum and Survey.
FileName	The path to the StoX 2.7 project.xml file to read StratumPolygon from, in the case that DefinitionMethod is "ResourceFile".
