Examples

## Not run: 
# psu <- read.csv2("psu.csv") # Read the external file containing PSU information
load("R2BEAT_ReGenesees.RData") # ReGenesees design and calibration objects plus PSU data
head(psu)
psu_id="municipality"        # Identifier of the PSU
stratum_var="stratum"        # Identifier of the stratum
mos_var="ind"                # Variable to be used as 'measure of size'
delta=1                      # Average number of SSUs for each selection unit
minimum <- 50                # Minimum number of SSUs to be selected in each PSU
inp2 <- input_to_beat.2st_2(psu,
                            psu_id,
                            stratum_var,
                            mos_var,
                            delta,
