Weighted Total and Mean (Horvitz-Thompson and Hajek Estimators)

Description

Weighted total and mean (Horvitz-Thompson and Hajek estimators)

Usage

weighted_mean(x, w, na.rm = FALSE)
weighted_total(x, w, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x	[numeric vector] data.
w	[numeric vector] weights (same length as x).
na.rm	[logical] indicating whether NA values should be removed before the computation proceeds (default: FALSE).

Details

weighted_total and weighted_mean compute, respectively, the Horvitz-Thompson estimator of the population total and the Hajek estimator of the population mean.

Value

Estimated population mean or total
