trimExpReps: Trim excess experimental rates

In paulhegedus/OFPE: On-Farm Precision Experiments (OFPE) Data Management and Analysis Tools

Trim excess experimental rates

Description

This function trims the number of cells to apply experimental rates to the number of available experimental rates. Due to rounding errors with proportions, more cells are selected than available. This removes reps from median rates first before moving to the extremes because it is assumed that the majority of optimum or other base rates will be around the median experimental rate. Additionally, when the applicator is moving from low to high or high to low rates, these middle rates will be applied. The minimum number of cells to apply a rate to is 1.

Usage

trimExpReps(cell_diff, exp_reps, midpoint)

Arguments

cell_diff	Vector with the number of cells difference between the number of rates and the number of available cells for experimentation
exp_reps	The number or cells to apply to each epxerimental rate.
midpoint	The median rate number for removing reps from middle rates before the extremes.

Value

The number of cells to apply each rate to.
