In DjalmaPessoa/convey: Income Concentration Analysis with Complex Survey Samples

Linearization of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of a variable

Description

Computes the linearized variable of the cdf function in a point.

Usage

icdf(formula, design, x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

formula	a formula specifying the income variable
design	a design object of class survey.design or class svyrep.design from the survey library.
x	the point where the cdf is calculated
na.rm	Should cases with missing values be dropped?
...	future expansion

Value

Object of class "cvystat", which are vectors with a "var" attribute giving the variance and a "statistic" attribute giving the name of the statistic.
