matching.prepare: Prepares a case for Direct Probabilistic Peering

In samthiriot/gosp.dpp: Pairing of entities to generate structured synthetic populations

Description

Prepares a case based on two samples and two sets of probabilities. It takes two samples, probabilities distributions for degrees (count of links per entity) and matching probabilities. It ensures all the parameters are consistent. In case fix=TRUE, a prior temptative to fix minor inconsistencies will be done using matching.fix.

Usage

matching.prepare(sample.A, sample.B, pdi, pdj, pij, fix = TRUE)

Arguments

sample.A	the sample to use for population A created using create_sample
sample.B	the sample to use for population B created using create_sample
pdi	the distribution of degrees for population A created with create_degree_probabilities_table
pdj	the distribution of degrees for population B created with create_degree_probabilities_table
pij	the matching probabilities created with create_matching_probabilities_table
fix	if TRUE, the function will fix mismatches (notably missing variables in pdi, pdj or pij) by itself

Value

a case ready to be solved with matching.solve
