gencalibRaking: Generalized calibration using raking ratio

Description

This function is inspired by the function calib of the package sampling. It computes the g-weights of the calibration estimator.

Usage

gencalibRaking(Xs, Zs, d, total, q, max_iter = 500L, tol = 1e-09)

Value

A vector, the value of the g-weights.

Arguments

Xs

A matrix of calibration variables.

Zs

A matrix of instrumental variables with same dimension as Xs.

d

A vector, the initial weights.

total

A vector that represents the initial weights.

q

A vector of positive value that account for heteroscedasticity.

max_iter

An integer, the maximum number of iterations. Default = 500.

tol

A scalar that represents the tolerance value for the algorithm. Default = 1e-9.
