View source: R/E.PO.r

Description

Computes the Horvitz-Thompson estimator of the population total according to a PO sampling design

Usage

1
E.PO(y, Pik)

Arguments

y

Vector, matrix or data frame containing the recollected information of the variables of interest for every unit in the selected sample

Pik

Vector of inclusion probabilities for each unit in the selected sample

Details

Returns the estimation of the population total of every single variable of interest, its estimated standard error and its estimated coefficient of variation under a PO sampling design

Value

The function returns a data matrix whose columns correspond to the estimated parameters of the variables of interest

# Uses the Lucy data to draw a Poisson sample

N <- dim(Lucy)[1]
# The population size is 2396. The expected sample size is 400
# The inclusion probability is proportional to the variable Income
n <- 400
Pik<-n*Income/sum(Income)
# The selected sample

# The information about the units in the sample is stored in an object called data
