montePop-methods: Methods for "'montePop'" Object Construction in Package...

In sampSurf: Sampling Surface Simulation for Areal Sampling Methods

Description

The following methods will construct valid objects of class "montePop". Please see the ‘“monte”: When is n Sufficiently Large?’ vignette for more details and examples.

Methods

signature(popVals = "numeric")

This method is meant to be used with any population that can be represented as a numeric vector.

usage...

montePop(popVals,
         zeroTruncate = FALSE,
         n = NA,
         description = 'Monte Carlo Population Object',
         ... )

• popVals: A numeric vector containing the population values.

• zeroTruncate: TRUE: truncate the zero values from the population; FALSE: leave it as is.

• n: A vector of sample sizes that will be used in conjunction with drawing samples from the population; or, NA if not desired.

• description: A description of the object as a character string.

• ... : Other arguments to be passed along–not used at present.

signature(popVals = "sampSurf")

This method is meant to be used with objects of class "sampSurf". All arguments other than the signature argument are as defined for the previous method.

usage...

montePop(popVals,
         zeroTruncate = FALSE,
         n = NA,
         description = 'Monte Carlo Population Object: sampSurf',
         ... )

• popVals: An object of class "sampSurf" from which the population (sampling surface grid) values will be extracted.
