distributeDraws_cpp {sdcMicro}

Distribute number of swaps

Description

Distribute number of swaps across lowest hierarchy level according to a predefined swaprate. The swaprate is applied such that a single swap counts as swapping 2 households. Number of swaps are randomly rounded up or down, if needed, such that the total number of swaps is in coherence with the swaprate.
NOTE: This is an internal function used for testing the C++-function distributeDraws which is used inside the C++-function recordSwap().

Usage

distributeDraws_cpp(data, hierarchy, hid, swaprate, seed = 123456L)

swaprate

double between 0 and 1 defining the proportion of households which should be swapped, see details for more explanations
