In weightflow: Declarative API for Staged Survey Weights

Rescale (normalize) the weights

Description

Rescale (normalize) the weights

Usage

step_rescale(spec, to = c("n", "total"), total = NULL, by = NULL)

Arguments

spec	a weighting_spec.
to	"n" (weights sum to the number of active units, i.e. mean weight 1) or "total" (weights sum to total).
total	numeric. Target sum when to = "total".
by	character. Rescale within these groups (optional). With to = "n", each group sums to its own active count.

Value

The input weighting_spec with this step appended to its recipe. The step is recorded only; it is evaluated when prep() is called.

Examples

weighting_spec(sample_survey, base_weights = pw) |>
  step_rescale(to = "n") |> prep()
