match.count: Count persons in households matching a list of conditions.

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

Description

Counts the rows in the population table, grouped by household, that match a list of conditions given as the ... argument, filling NA values with 0. The result can be joined to the housing data on SERIALNO, and the housing weights (called WGTP) should be used to compute estimates.

Usage

match.count(house, pop, ...)

Arguments

house	ACS housing data or subset with the SERIALNO field
pop	ACS population data or subset with the SERIALNO field
...	a list of conditions that define the subset, as bare expressions, not as strings

Value

vector of counts of people matching (...) conditions, should be aligned with house

Examples

# ESR is employment status; levels 1, 2, 4, and 5 are the employed levels
wa.house16$num.work <- match.count(wa.house16, wa.pop16, ESR %in% c(1,2,4,5))
group.count(wa.house16, 'num.work')
