Transforms a sampling design to an equivalent one with simpler stratification
Usage
CollapseStrata(IndividualSamplingParametersData, RetainStrata = character())Arguments
- IndividualSamplingParametersData
IndividualSamplingParametersDatawith sampling parameters for sample selection- RetainStrata
character() with the names of stratification variables to retain. Stratification variables not specified here will be removed.
Value
IndividualSamplingParametersData with simplified stratification
Details
The sampling information in IndividualSamplingParametersData allows for specification of several stratification variables.
This function facilitates removal of some of these stratificaiton vairables, redefining strata to a coarser stratification scheme that still has known
stratum sizes.
If all stratification variables are removed, all samples will be assigned to a single stratum named 'All'.
