httkpop_direct_resample.Inner loop function called by httkpop_direct_resample.
httkpop_direct_resample_inner(nsamp, gendernum, agelim_months, agelim_years,
reths, weight_category)The desired number of individuals in the virtual population.
nsamp need not be provided if gendernum is provided.
Optional: A named list giving the numbers of male and female
individuals to include in the population, e.g. list(Male=100,
Female=100). Default is NULL, meaning both males and females are included,
in their proportions in the NHANES data. If both nsamp and
gendernum are provided, they must agree (i.e., nsamp must be
the sum of gendernum).
Optional: A two-element numeric vector giving the minimum
and maximum ages (in months) to include in the population. Default is c(0,
959), equivalent to the default agelim_years. If agelim_months
is provided and agelim_years is not, agelim_months will override the
default values of agelim_years.
Optional: A two-element numeric vector giving the minimum
and maximum ages (in years) to include in the population. Default is
c(0,79). If agelim_years is provided and agelim_months is not,
agelim_years will override the default value of agelim_months.
Optional: a character vector giving the races/ethnicities to
include in the population. Default is c('Mexican American','Other
Hispanic','Non-Hispanic White','Non-Hispanic Black','Other'), to include
all races and ethnicities in their proportions in the NHANES data.
User-supplied vector must contain one or more of these strings.
Optional: The weight categories to include in the
population. Default is c('Underweight', 'Normal', 'Overweight',
'Obese'). User-supplied vector must contain one or more of these strings.
A data.table where each row represents an individual, and each column represents a demographic, anthropometric, or physiological parameter.
