1 2 3 4 5 |
i |
The total number of completed interviews. |
r |
The total number of refusals. |
nc |
The total number of non-contacts. |
o |
The total number of “other” units. |
uh |
The total number of unknown if occupied (housing) units. |
uo |
The total number of other unknowns. |
e |
Optionally, the (estimated) proportion of units of unknown eligibility ( |
p |
The total number of partial interviews. |
FUN |
A function specifying the calculation of the rate. Default is |
These functions calculate response/participation metrics relevant to panel surveys, especially probability-based online panels. Specifically, three functions are exposed based upon definitions provided in AAPOR's “Standard Definitions”:
recr
provides a “recruitment rate”, used to calculate the proportion of invited respondents who agree to empanelment.
pror
provides a “profile rate”, used to calculate the proportion of empaneled respondents who complete an initial panel profile questionnaire.
comr
provides a “completion rate”, used to calculate the response rate for a given survey.
pror
and comr
are simply wrappers for rr5
(by default) or another response rate function (specified in FUN
. One possible calculation of e
suggested by the Standard Definition's calculator is the number of eligible e = \frac{i + p + r + nc + o}{i + p + r + nc + o + uo}. The default used here, however, is the more conservative value of 1.
A numeric value indicating the response rate.
