In PNSIBGE: Downloading, Reading and Analyzing PNS Microdata

Download, label, deflate and create survey design object for PNS microdata

Description

Core function of package. With this function only, the user can download a PNS microdata from a year and get a sample design object ready to use with survey package functions.

Usage

get_pns(
  year,
  selected = FALSE,
  anthropometry = FALSE,
  vars = NULL,
  labels = TRUE,
  deflator = TRUE,
  design = TRUE,
  reload = TRUE,
  savedir = tempdir()
)

Arguments

year	The year of the data to be downloaded. Must be a number equal to 2013 or 2019. Vector not accepted.
selected	Logical value. If TRUE, the specific questionnaire for selected resident will be used. If FALSE, the basic questionnaire for household and residents will be used.
anthropometry	Logical value. If TRUE, the specific questionnaire for the anthropometry module of the selected resident will be used. If FALSE, the questionnaire defined by the selected argument of this function will be used. This argument will be used only if year is equal to 2019.
vars	Vector of variable names to be kept for analysis. Default is to keep all variables.
labels	Logical value. If TRUE, categorical variables will presented as factors with labels corresponding to the survey's dictionary.
deflator	Logical value. If TRUE, deflator variables will be available for use in the microdata.
design	Logical value. If TRUE, will return an object of class survey.design or svyrep.design. It is strongly recommended to keep this parameter as TRUE for further analysis. If FALSE, only the microdata will be returned.
reload	Logical value. If TRUE, will re-download the files even if they already exist in the save directory. If FALSE, will be checked if the files already exist in the save directory and the download will not be performed repeatedly.
savedir	Directory to save the downloaded data. Default is to use a temporary directory.

Value

An object of class survey.design or svyrep.design with the data from PNS and its sample design, or a tibble with selected variables of the microdata, including the necessary survey design ones.

Examples

pns.svy <- get_pns(year=2019, selected=FALSE, anthropometry=FALSE, vars=c("J007","J009"),
                       labels=TRUE, deflator=TRUE, design=TRUE, reload=TRUE, savedir=tempdir())
# Calculating proportion of people diagnosed with chronic diseases
if (!is.null(pns.svy)) survey::svymean(x=~J007, design=pns.svy, na.rm=TRUE)
pns.svy2 <- get_pns(year=2019, selected=TRUE, anthropometry=FALSE, vars=c("N001","N00101"),
                       labels=TRUE, deflator=TRUE, design=TRUE, reload=TRUE, savedir=tempdir())
# Calculating proportion of people's self-rated health
if (!is.null(pns.svy2)) survey::svymean(x=~N001, design=pns.svy2, na.rm=TRUE)
pns.svy3 <- get_pns(year=2019, selected=FALSE, anthropometry=TRUE, vars=c("W00101","W00201"),
                       labels=TRUE, deflator=TRUE, design=TRUE, reload=TRUE, savedir=tempdir())
# Calculating the average weight of people
if (!is.null(pns.svy3)) survey::svymean(x=~W00101, design=pns.svy3, na.rm=TRUE)
