nwos_estimates_mean: NWOS Estimate Mean

In familyforestresearchcenter/nwos: An R Package for Working with USDA Forest Service, National Woodland Owner Survey Data

NWOS Estimate Mean

Description

Calculate means for the NWOS.

Usage

nwos_estimates_mean(weight, area = 1, domain = 1, variable)

Arguments

weight	vector of weights.
area	vector of area (e.g., forest acres in the stratum). Default = 1 (i.e., estimates are in terms of ownerships).
stratum	vector with 1 indicating inclusion in the stratum and 0 otherwise. Default = 1 (i.e., all ownerships are in the same stratum).
domain	binary vector (i.e., dummay variable) with 1 indicating inclusion in the domain of interest and 0 otherwise. Default = 1 (i.e., all ownerships are included).
variable	vector of values for the variable of interest.

Details

This function needs to be run by stratum (e.g., family forest ownerships in a state).

Value

Mean of variable of interest.
