svyatdens: Density functions using Anastasiade-Tillé Decomposition

In guilhermejacob/svycdec: Anastasiade-Tillé decomposition by calibration using complex surveys

Description

Plots the original and the counterfactual density functions

Usage

svyatdens(formula, design, ...)

## S3 method for class 'survey.design'
svyatdens(formula, design, sex, ngrid = 401,
  bandwidth = NULL, grake.args = list(calfun = survey::cal.raking,
  bounds = list(lower = -Inf, upper = Inf), epsilon = 1e-07, verbose =
  FALSE, maxit = 1000, variance = NULL))

## S3 method for class 'svyrep.design'
svyatdens(formula, design, sex,
  grake.args = list(calfun = survey::cal.raking, bounds = list(lower =
  0.5, upper = 2), epsilon = 1e-07, eta = NULL, maxit = 1000, verbose =
  FALSE, variance = NULL), ...)

## S3 method for class 'DBIsvydesign'
svyatdens(formula, design, sex, ...)

Arguments

formula	a formula specifying the income variable and the variables to calibrate upon.
design	a design object of class survey.design or class svyrep.design from the survey library.
...	future expansion
sex	a formula indicating the sex variable, a factor of two levels (male and female).
grake.args	arguments to be passed to the grake function of the survey library.

Details

This function

Value

Object of class "svystat", which are vectors with a "var" attribute giving the variance-covariance matrix and a "statistic" attribute giving the name of the decomposed variable.
