Description

A vector of proportions is efficiently rounded to integers.

Usage

efficient.rounding(proportions,n,random=TRUE)

Arguments

proportions

A vector of proportions.

n

The sum of the resulting integers.

random

If TRUE, ties will be broken at random, otherwise the first of the tied values will be used.

Value

• A vector of replications summing to n.

Details

This function implements an efficient rounding procedure to round approximate theory designs into replicated integer approximations.
