Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Computes the Horvitz-Thompson estimator of the population total according to an SY sampling design

1	E.SY(N, a, y)

`N`	Population size
`a`	Number of groups dividing the population
`y`	Vector, matrix or data frame containing the recollected information of the variables of interest for every unit in the selected sample

Returns the estimation of the population total of every single variable of interest, its estimated standard error and its estimated coefficient of variation under an SY sampling design

The function returns a data matrix whose columns correspond to the estimated parameters of the variables of interest
