ComputeIntervals {GaussSuppression}

Function for calculating intervals for suppressed tables.

Description

This function solves linear programs to determine interval boundaries for suppressed cells.

Usage

ComputeIntervals(
  x,
  z,
  primary,
  suppressed,
  minVal = NULL,
  lpPackage = "lpSolve",
  gaussI = TRUE,
  allInt = FALSE,
  sparseConstraints = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

ModelMatrix, as output from SSBtools::ModelMatrix

z

numerical vector with length ncol(x). Corresponds to table cell values

primary

Vector indicating primary suppressed cells. Can be logical or integer. If integer vector, indicates the columns of x which are considered primary suppressed.

suppressed

Vector indicating all suppressed cells. Can be logical or integer. If integer vector, indicates the columns of x which are considered suppressed.

minVal

a known minimum value for table cells. Default NULL. Note that 'minVal' is interpreted as the limiting value for all suppressed cells. Specifying 'minVal=0' would be redundant, as a minimum value of 0 is anyway assumed for inner cells (see details).

lpPackage

The name of the package used to solve linear programs. Currently, 'lpSolve' (default), 'Rsymphony', 'Rglpk' and 'highs' are supported.

gaussI

Boolean vector. If TRUE (default), GaussIndependent is used to reduce size of linear program.

allInt

Integer variables when TRUE. See all.int parameter in lpSolve and types parameter in Rsymphony and Rglpk.

sparseConstraints

When TRUE, a sparse constraint matrix will be input to the solver. In the case of lpSolve, the sparse matrix is represented in triplet form as a dense matrix with three columns, and the dense.const parameter is utilized.

Details

This function is still experimental.

Default in for bounds parameter in Rsymphony_solve_LP and Rglpk_solve_LP: The default for each variable is a bound between 0 and Inf. Details in lpSolve: Note that every variable is assumed to be ⁠>= 0⁠!
