Generate a Data Table

makeTbl(
  tblName,
  prevTbls = list(),
  rows = 4,
  propSamp = 0.5,
  selMeth = "CENSUS",
  stratums = c("U"),
  mean = 5
)

Arguments

tblName: Name of the table
prevTbls: list of data.tables upstream of the generated table. Defaults to empty list
rows: numeric number of rows per parent record. Defaults to 4.
propSamp: numeric proportion of how many of total are sampled. This is ignored for "CENSUS". Defaults to 0.5
selMeth: character selection method used. Defaults to "CENSUS". Others like SRSWR or SRSSWOR can be used as well
