total_estimation: Estimates the population totals

In NonProbEst: Estimation in Nonprobability Sampling

Description

Estimates the population totals for the specified variables measured in a sample given some pre-calculated weights.

Usage

total_estimation(sample, weights, estimated_vars, N)

Arguments

sample	A data frame containing the sample with the variables for which the estimated population totals are to be calculated.
weights	A vector of pre-calculated weights.
estimated_vars	String vector specifying the variables in the sample to be estimated.
N	An integer specifying the population size.

Value

A vector with the corresponding estimations.

Examples

covariates = c("education_primaria", "education_secundaria")
data_propensities = propensities(sampleNP, sampleP, covariates)
psa_weights = sc_weights(data_propensities$convenience)
total_estimation(sampleNP, psa_weights, c("vote_pens"), 50000)
