qsample.m Simulates a sample for a given population density. Determines sample parameters and approximate population parameters. Assumes dfsetup or acsetup has been run. Takes asinput the distribution matrices X , P X and the sample size n . Uses a random number generator to obtain the probability matrix U and uses the m-function dquant to determine the sample. Assumes dfsetup or acsetup has been run.
