survey_old_quantile: Calculate the quantile and its variation using survey methods

Description

Calculate quantiles from complex survey data. A wrapper around oldsvyquantile, which is a version of the function from before version 4.1 of the survey package, available for backwards compatibility. survey_old_quantile and survey_old_median should always be called from summarise. See Thomas Lumley's blogpost <https://notstatschat.rbind.io/2021/07/20/what-s-new-in-the-survey-package/> for more details.

Usage

survey_old_quantile(
  x,
  quantiles,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  vartype = c("se", "ci", "var", "cv"),
  level = 0.95,
  q_method = "linear",
  f = 1,
  interval_type = c("Wald", "score", "betaWald", "probability", "quantile"),
  ties = c("discrete", "rounded"),
  df = NULL,
  ...
)
survey_old_median(
  x,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  vartype = c("se", "ci"),
  level = 0.95,
  q_method = "linear",
  f = 1,
  interval_type = c("Wald", "score", "betaWald", "probability", "quantile"),
  ties = c("discrete", "rounded"),
  df = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A variable or expression

quantiles

A vector of quantiles to calculate

na.rm

A logical value to indicate whether missing values should be dropped

vartype

NULL to report no variability (default), otherwise one or more of: standard error ("se") confidence interval ("ci") (variance and coefficient of variation not available).

level

A single number indicating the confidence level (only one level allowed)

q_method

See "method" in approxfun

f

See approxfun

interval_type

See oldsvyquantile

ties

See oldsvyquantile

df

A number indicating the degrees of freedom for t-distribution. The default, Inf uses the normal distribution (matches the survey package). Also, has no effect for type = "betaWald".

Examples

library(survey)
data(api)

dstrata <- apistrat %>%
  as_survey_design(strata = stype, weights = pw)

dstrata %>%
  summarise(api99 = survey_old_quantile(api99, c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75)),
            api00 = survey_old_median(api00, vartype = c("ci")))

dstrata %>%
  group_by(awards) %>%
  summarise(api00 = survey_old_median(api00))
