HR: Wrappers for specifying PPS designs
Description
The Horvitz-Thompson estimator and the Hartley-Rao approximation require information in addition to the sampling probabilities for sampled individuals. These functions allow this information to be supplied.
Usage
HR(psum=NULL, strata = NULL)
ppsmat(jointprob, tolerance = 1e-04)
Arguments
psum
The sum of squared sampling probabilities for the population, divided by the sample size, as a single number or as a vector for stratified sampling
strata
Stratum labels, of the same length as psum
, if psum
is a vector
jointprob
Matrix of pairwise sampling probabilities for the sampled individuals
tolerance
Tolerance for deciding that the covariance of sampling indicators is zero
Value
An object of class HR
or ppsmat
, suitable for supplying as the pps
argument to svydesign
.
