In manuelreif/svyPVpack: A package for complex surveys including plausible values

Survey-weighted estimation of the eta coefficient with uasge of palusible values.

Description

Computes the eta coefficient for data from a complex survey design with usage of plausible values.

Usage

svyPVeta(formula, design, placeholder = 1:10)

Arguments

formula	Formula, x~y for the eta coefficient between x and y (both variables have to be part of a survey design objecct created by the survey package). For a notation description for the plausible values see in 'details'.
design	A survey design which was generated by the survey package .
placeholder	A vector of symbols, which were used for numbering of the plausible values. For a detailed description see in 'details'.

Details

All variables mentioned in the formula object must be part of the survey design object. Instead of the symbols, which were used for numbering the plausible values use '..' as notation (e.g. placeholder = 1:5 and PVLIT.. stands for PVLIT1, PVLIT2, PVLIT3, PVLIT4, PVLIT5).Missing values are deleted listwise.

Value

The function returns a data.frame with the following columns

ETA	Shows the eta coefficient between x and y.
SE	Shows the SE for the eta coefficient.
Number.of.cases	Shows the unweighted number of cases (NA's excluded) within each group.
Sum.of.weights	Shows the sum of weights (NA's excluded) within each group.
