svyiqalpha: Linearization of a variable quantile

Description

Computes the linearized variable of a quantile of variable.

Usage

svyiqalpha(formula, design, ...)
# S3 method for survey.design
svyiqalpha(formula, design, alpha, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for svyrep.design
svyiqalpha(formula, design, alpha, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for DBIsvydesign
svyiqalpha(formula, design, ...)

Value

Object of class "cvystat", which are vectors with a "var" attribute giving the variance and a "statistic" attribute giving the name of the statistic.

Arguments

formula

a formula specifying the income variable

design

a design object of class survey.design or class svyrep.design from the survey library.

...

arguments passed on to `survey::oldsvyquantile`

alpha

the order of the quantile

na.rm

Should cases with missing values be dropped?

Author

Djalma Pessoa and Anthony Damico

Details

you must run the convey_prep function on your survey design object immediately after creating it with the svydesign or svrepdesign function.
