as.svrepdesign: Convert a survey design to use replicate weights

In survey: Analysis of Complex Survey Samples

Convert a survey design to use replicate weights

Description

Creates a replicate-weights survey design object from a traditional strata/cluster survey design object. JK1 and JKn are jackknife methods, BRR is Balanced Repeated Replicates and Fay is Fay's modification of this, bootstrap is Canty and Davison's bootstrap, subbootstrap is Rao and Wu's (n-1) bootstrap, and mrbbootstrap is Preston's multistage rescaled bootstrap. With a svyimputationList object, the same replicate weights will be used for each imputation if the sampling weights are all the same and separate.replicates=FALSE.

Usage

as.svrepdesign(design,...)
## Default S3 method:
as.svrepdesign(design, type=c("auto", "JK1", "JKn", "BRR", "bootstrap",
   "subbootstrap","mrbbootstrap","Fay"),
   fay.rho = 0, fpc=NULL,fpctype=NULL,..., compress=TRUE, 
   mse=getOption("survey.replicates.mse"))
## S3 method for class 'svyimputationList'
as.svrepdesign(design, type=c("auto", "JK1", "JKn", "BRR", "bootstrap",
   "subbootstrap","mrbbootstrap","Fay"),
   fay.rho = 0, fpc=NULL,fpctype=NULL, separate.replicates=FALSE, ..., compress=TRUE, 
   mse=getOption("survey.replicates.mse"))

Arguments

design	Object of class survey.design or svyimputationList. Must not have been post-stratified/raked/calibrated in R
type	Type of replicate weights. "auto" uses JKn for stratified, JK1 for unstratified designs
fay.rho	Tuning parameter for Fay's variance method
fpc, fpctype, ...	Passed to jk1weights, jknweights, brrweights, bootweights, subbootweights, or mrbweights.
separate.replicates	Compute replicate weights separately for each design (useful for the bootstrap types, which are not deterministic
compress	Use a compressed representation of the replicate weights matrix.
mse	if TRUE, compute variances from sums of squares around the point estimate, rather than the mean of the replicates

Value

Object of class svyrep.design.
