sample.system {animation}R Documentation

Demonstration for the systematic sampling

Description

The whole sample frame is denoted by a matrix (nrow * ncol) in the plane, and the sample points with equal intervals are drawn out according to a random starting point. The points being sampled are marked by red circles.

Usage

sample.system(nrow = 10, ncol = 10, size = 15, p.col = c("blue", "red"), p.cex = c(1, 
    3))

Arguments

nrow

the desired number of rows of the sample frame.

ncol

the desired number of columns of the sample frame.

size

the sample size.

p.col,p.cex

different colors / magnification rate to annotate the population and the sample

Value

None (invisible NULL).
