summarize_sensitivity_survey: Sensitivity Summary (for survey weights)

In senseweight: Sensitivity Analysis for Weighted Estimators

Sensitivity Summary (for survey weights)

Description

Returns a data.frame or Kable table with summary measures of sensitivity; helper function for main summary function, and allows users to directly input a survey object and a design object

Usage

summarize_sensitivity_survey(svy_srs, svy_wt, weights, varY, b_star = 0)

Arguments

svy_srs	Survey object, containing the unweighted survey
svy_wt	Survey object, containing the weighted survey
weights	A vector, containing the estimated survey weights
varY	variance of the outcome
b_star	Killer confounder threshold, default set to be zero

Value

data.frame with summary measures of sensitivity
