E.SY: Estimation of the Population Total under Systematic Sampling...

In TeachingSampling: Selection of Samples and Parameter Estimation in Finite Population

Description

Computes the Horvitz-Thompson estimator of the population total according to an SY sampling design

Usage

E.SY(N, a, y)

Arguments

N	Population size
a	Number of groups dividing the population
y	Vector, matrix or data frame containing the recollected information of the variables of interest for every 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 an SY sampling design

Value

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

Examples

# Uses the Lucy data to draw a Systematic sample
data(Lucy)
attach(Lucy)

N <- dim(Lucy)[1]
# The population is divided in 6 groups
# The selected sample
sam <- S.SY(N,6)
# The information about the units in the sample is stored in an object called data
data <- Lucy[sam,]
attach(data)
names(data)
# The variables of interest are: Income, Employees and Taxes
# This information is stored in a data frame called estima
estima <- data.frame(Income, Employees, Taxes)
E.SY(N,6,estima)
