Output from svytable
For svytable these are passed to xtabs. Use
exclude=NULL, na.action=na.pass to include NAs
in the table
Tolerance for qr in computing the matrix rank
The svytable function computes a weighted crosstabulation. This
is especially useful for producing graphics. It is sometimes easier
to use svytotal or svymean, which also
produce standard errors, design effects, etc.
The frequencies in the table can be normalised to some convenient total
such as 100 or 1.0 by specifying the Ntotal argument. If the
formula has a left-hand side the mean or sum of this variable rather
than the frequency is tabulated.
The Ntotal argument can be either a single number or a data
frame whose first column gives the (first-stage) sampling strata and
second column the population size in each stratum. In this second case
the svytable command performs `post-stratification': tabulating
and scaling to the population within strata and then adding up the
strata.
As with other xtabs objects, the output of svytable can be
processed by ftable for more attractive display. The
summary method for svytable objects calls svychisq
for a test of independence.
svychisq computes first and second-order Rao-Scott corrections to
the Pearson chisquared test, and two Wald-type tests.
The default (statistic="F") is the Rao-Scott second-order
correction. The p-values are computed with a Satterthwaite
approximation to the distribution and with denominator degrees of
freedom as recommended by Thomas and Rao (1990). The alternative
statistic="Chisq" adjusts the Pearson chisquared statistic by a
design effect estimate and then compares it to the chisquared
distribution it would have under simple random sampling.
The statistic="Wald" test is that proposed by Koch et al (1975)
and used by the SUDAAN software package. It is a Wald test based on the
differences between the observed cells counts and those expected under
independence. The adjustment given by statistic="adjWald" reduces
the statistic when the number of PSUs is small compared to the number of
degrees of freedom of the test. Thomas and Rao (1987) compare these
tests and find the adjustment benefical.
statistic="lincom" replaces the numerator of the Rao-Scott F with
the exact asymptotic distribution, which is a linear combination of
chi-squared variables (see pchisqsum, and
statistic="saddlepoint" uses a saddlepoint approximation to this
distribution. The CompQuadForm package is needed for
statistic="lincom" but not for
statistic="saddlepoint". The saddlepoint approximation is
especially useful when the p-value is very small (as in large-scale
multiple testing problems).
statistic="wls-score" is an experimental implementation of the
weighted least squares score test of Lipsitz et al (2015). It is not
identical to that paper, for example, I think the denominator degrees
of freedom need to be reduced by JK for a JxK table, not (J-1)(K-1). And
it's very close to the "adjWald" test.
For designs using replicate weights the code is essentially the same as
for designs with sampling structure, since the necessary variance
computations are done by the appropriate methods of
svytotal and svymean. The exception is that
the degrees of freedom is computed as one less than the rank of the
matrix of replicate weights (by degf).
At the moment, svychisq works only for 2-dimensional tables.
