Simulating the Total Number of Accounts in Error
Description
Considered a stratified finite population of accounts where each account is classified as either acceptable or in error. Based on a stratified random sample of accounts an auditor is required to give an upper 95 the population that are in error. Given the sample this uses the posterior distribution from a simple hierarchical Bayes model to simulate possible values for T. The 0.95 quantile for this posterior will be an approximate 95 populations.
Usage
simulateT(smp,n,N,grd,R)
Arguments
smp |
numeric vector of the number of accounts in error in each strata in the sample |
n |
numeric vector of the number of accounts sampled in each strata in the population |
N |
numeric vector of the total number of accounts in each strata in the population |
grd |
numeric vector of values usually taken to be seq(0.0001,0.1499,length = 11) |
R |
an integer which is the number of simulated values of T returned |
Value
A vector of length R containing simulated values of T
