silcTools2: Utility functions for EU-SILC data

Description

Various utility functions mainly used for simulating EU-SILC data

Usage

loadSILC(
  file = NULL,
  filed = NULL,
  filer = NULL,
  filep = NULL,
  fileh = NULL,
  year = 2013,
  country = "Austria"
)
mergeSILC(filed, filer, fileh, filep)
checkCol(x, y)
chooseSILCvars(
  x,
  vars = c("db030", "db040", "rb030", "rb080", "rb090", "pl031", "pb220a", "py010g",
    "py021g", "py050g", "py080g", "py090g", "py100g", "py110g", "py120g", "py130g",
    "py140g", "hy040g", "hy050g", "hy060g", "hy070g", "hy080g", "hy090g", "hy100g",
    "hy110g", "hy120g", "hy130g", "hy140g", "db090", "rb050", "pb190", "pe040", "pl051",
    "pl111", "rb010"),
  country = NULL
)
modifySILC(x, country = "Austria")

Arguments

data set including the personal information

fileh

data set including the household information

year

Details

Collection of functions to import, select and modify data EU-SILC data. Either file (merged data) or single files have to be provided for loadSILC().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
x <- loadSILC("new_workfile.RData")
filed <- "zielvar_d_eurostat2013.sav"
filer <- "zielvar_r_eurostat2013.sav"
filep <- "zielvar_p_eurostat2013.sav"
fileh <- "zielvar_h_eurostat2013.sav"
suf4 <- loadSILC(filed = filed,
                 filer = filer,
                 filep = filep,
                 fileh = fileh)
}
if (FALSE) {
filed <- "zielvar_d_eurostat2013.sav"
filer <- "zielvar_r_eurostat2013.sav"
filep <- "zielvar_p_eurostat2013.sav"
fileh <- "zielvar_h_eurostat2013.sav"
suf4 <- loadSILC(filed = filed,
                 filer = filer,
                 filep = filep,
                 fileh = fileh)
suf <- mergeSILC(d = suf4[["d"]],
                 r = suf4[["r"]],
                 h = suf4[["h"]],
                 p = suf4[["p"]])
}
data(eusilc13puf)
## instead of scientific-use file or
## original data we took the 2006 synthetic data
data(eusilcS)
## check which columns of y are in x
checkCol(eusilc13puf, eusilcS)
if (FALSE) {
## on original silc data to extract needed variables for SGA project on SILC
x <- loadSILC("new_workfile.RData")
chooseSILCvars(x)
}
if (FALSE) {
## wrapper to prepare SILC data
## on original silc data
x <- loadSILC("new_workfile.RData")
x <- chooseSILCvars(x)
modifySILC(x)
}
