computeDeduplicationFactors: Computes the deduplication factors for each region.

In bogdanoancea/inference: R package for computing the number of individuals in the target population conditioned on the number of individuals detected by the MNO and auxiliary information.

Description

Computes the deduplication factors for each region of the map. For a complete description of these factors an interested reader can consult the description of the methodological framework https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/mwikis/essnetbigdata/images/f/fb/WPI_Deliverable_I3_A_proposed_production_framework_with_mobile_network_data_2020_05_31_draft.pdf.

Usage

computeDeduplicationFactors(
  dupFileName,
  regsFileName,
  postLocPrefix,
  postLocPath
)

Arguments

dupFileName	The name of the file with the duplicity probabilities. This file is the output of the deduplication package.
regsFileName	The name of the .csv file defining the regions. It has two columns: tile, region. The first column contains the IDs of each tile in the grid while the second contains the number of a region. This file is defined by the user and it can be created with any text editor.
postLocPrefix	The file name prefix of the files with posterior location probabilities for each device. The whole file name is composed by a concatenation of prefixName, _ and deviceID. The extension of these files is .dt.csv
postLocPath	The path to the location where the posterior location probabilities are stored.

Value

A data.table object with the deduplication factors for each region.
