survey (version 4.0)

as.svrepdesign: Convert a survey design to use replicate weights

Description

Creates a replicate-weights survey design object from a traditional strata/cluster survey design object. JK1 and JKn are jackknife methods, BRR is Balanced Repeated Replicates and Fay is Fay's modification of this, bootstrap is Canty and Davison's bootstrap, subbootstrap is Rao and Wu's \((n-1)\) bootstrap, and mrbbootstrap is Preston's multistage rescaled bootstrap.

Usage

as.svrepdesign(design, type=c("auto", "JK1", "JKn", "BRR", "bootstrap",
   "subbootstrap","mrbbootstrap","Fay"),
   fay.rho = 0, fpc=NULL,fpctype=NULL,..., compress=TRUE, 
   mse=getOption("survey.replicates.mse"))

Arguments

design

Object of class survey.design

type

Type of replicate weights. "auto" uses JKn for stratified, JK1 for unstratified designs

fay.rho

Tuning parameter for Fay's variance method

fpc,fpctype,…

Passed to jk1weights, jknweights, brrweights, bootweights, subbootweights, or mrbweights.

compress

Use a compressed representation of the replicate weights matrix.

mse

if TRUE, compute variances from sums of squares around the point estimate, rather than the mean of the replicates

Value

Object of class svyrep.design.
