HH: The Hansen-Hurwitz Estimator

In psirusteam/TeachingSampling: Selection of Samples and Parameter Estimation in Finite Population

Description

Computes the Hansen-Hurwitz Estimator estimator of the population total for several variables of interest

Usage

HH(y, pk)

Arguments

y	Vector, matrix or data frame containing the recollected information of the variables of interest for every unit in the selected sample
pk	A vector containing selection probabilities for each unit in the selected sample

Details

The Hansen-Hurwitz estimator is given by

∑_{i=1}^m\frac{y_i}{p_i}

where y_i is the value of the variables of interest for the ith unit, and p_i is its corresponding selection probability. This estimator is restricted to with replacement sampling designs.

Value

The function returns a vector of total population estimates for each variable of interest, its estimated standard error and its estimated coefficient of variation.

Examples

############
## Example 1
############
# Vector U contains the label of a population of size N=5
U <- c("Yves", "Ken", "Erik", "Sharon", "Leslie")
# Vectors y1 and y2 give the values of the variables of interest
y1<-c(32, 34, 46, 89, 35)
y2<-c(1,1,1,0,0)
y3<-cbind(y1,y2)
# The population size is N=5
N <- length(U)
# The sample size is m=2
m <- 2
# pk is the probability of selection of every single unit
pk <- c(0.35, 0.225, 0.175, 0.125, 0.125)
# Selection of a random sample with replacement
sam <- sample(5,2, replace=TRUE, prob=pk)
# The selected sample is
U[sam]
# The values of the variables of interest for the units in the sample
y1[sam]
y2[sam]
y3[sam,]
# The Hansen-Hurwitz estimator
HH(y1[sam],pk[sam])
HH(y2[sam],pk[sam])
HH(y3[sam,],pk[sam])


############
## Example 2
############
# Uses the Lucy data to draw a simple random sample with replacement
data(Lucy)
attach(Lucy)

N <- dim(Lucy)[1]
m <- 400
sam <- sample(N,m,replace=TRUE)
# The vector of selection probabilities of units in the sample
pk <- rep(1/N,m)
# The information about the units in the sample is stored in an object called data
data <- Lucy[sam,]
attach(data)
names(data)
# The variables of interest are: Income, Employees and Taxes
# This information is stored in a data frame called estima
estima <- data.frame(Income, Employees, Taxes)
HH(estima, pk)
