line.estimate: Compute an estimate and standard error from ACS PUMS data.

In davidthaler/PUMSutils: Computes Point Estimates and Standard Errors on the ACS PUMS Data

Description

Compute point estimate, standard error and 90 of any statistic on ACS PUMS data using the direct method, involving replicate weights and return results on one line.

Usage

line.estimate(x, f, ..., result.name = NULL)

Arguments

x	a data frame of PUMS data.
f	a function to calculate the statistic. It must take data and a weight replicate number called wt.rep.num with a default value of NULL.
...	other data passed to f
result.name	name of estimate column in result. Default of NULL uses deparse(substitute(f)).

Value

the point estimate, standard error and 90 for the size of this sample.

Examples

# Number of households in Washington State in 2016
line.estimate(wa.house16, estimate)

# Fraction of Washington State households that rent for cash
line.estimate(subset(wa.house16, TEN==3), proportion, wa.house16,
              result.name='Renters.Pct')
