Export Survey Statistics

Description

Prints survey statistics to a file or connection.

write.svystat(x, ...)

Details

This function is just a convenience wrapper to write.table, designed to export objects which have been returned by survey statistics functions (e.g. svystatTM, svystatR, svystatS, svystatSR, svystatB, svystatQ, svystatL, svySigma, svySigma2).

Examples

# Creation of a design object:
data(sbs)
des<-e.svydesign(data=sbs,ids=~id,strata=~strata,weights=~weight,
     fpc=~fpc)

# Estimation of the average value added per employee
# for economic activity region and macro-sectors,
# with SE, CV% and standard confidence intervals:
stat <- svystatR(des,~va.imp2,~emp.num,by=~region:nace.macro,
        vartype=c("se","cvpct"),conf.int=TRUE)
stat

# In order to export the summary statistics above
# into a CSV file for input to Excel one can use:
## Not run: 
write.svystat(stat,file="stat.csv",sep=";")

## End(Not run)

# ...and to read this file back into R one needs
## Not run: 
stat.back <- read.table("stat.csv",header=TRUE,sep=";",
             check.names=FALSE)
stat.back

## End(Not run)

# Notice, however, that the latter object has
# lost a lot of meta-data as compared to the
# original one, so that e.g.:
## Not run: 
confint(stat.back)

## End(Not run)

# ...while, on the contrary:
confint(stat)
