sampleDonor_cpp function

Random sample for donor records

Randomly select donor records given a probability weight vector. This sampling procedure is implemented differently than randSample_cpp to speed up performance of C++-function recordSwap().

NOTE: This is an internal function used for testing the C++-function sampleDonor which is used inside the C++-function recordSwap().

sampleDonor_cpp(
  data,
  similar_cpp,
  hid,
  IDswap,
  IDswap_pool_vec,
  prob,
  seed = 123456L
)

Arguments

• data: micro data containing the hierarchy levels and household ID
• similar_cpp: List where each entry corresponds to column indices of variables in data which should be considered when swapping households.
• hid: column index in data which refers to the household identifier.
• IDswap: vector containing records for which a donor needs to be sampled
• IDswap_pool_vec: set from which IDswap was drawn
• prob: a vector of probability weights for obtaining the elements of the vector being sampled.
• seed: integer setting the sampling seed
