generate_popSize: Calcualtion of population size
In annenna4/culturechange:

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s)

Calculates the size of the population for each time step based on the observed sample size.

1	generate_popSize<-function(sampleSize, nSamples, timePoints, sMean, sVariance)

`sampleSize`	vector of sample sizes at time points tj, j=1,...,nSamples
`timePoints`	vector specifying the time points tj, j=1,...,nSamples
`nSamples`	number of observed samples
`sMean`	mean value of the ratio s between sample size and population size
`sVariance`	variance of the ratio s between sample size and population size

This function will generate a vector of size (tnSamples-t1+1) containing an estimate of the population size at each intermediate time step. The estimation assumes that the sample size is a fraction of population size at tj, j=1,...,nSamples. In detail it holds N(tj)=1/s*n(tj) with s being normally distributed with mean sMean and variance sVariance. Population sizes at intermediate time points are obtained by linear interpolation.
