var_FixedPointR Documentation

Fixed-Point approximate variance estimator

Description

Fixed-Point estimator for approximate variance estimation by Deville and Tillé (2005). Estimator of class 2, it requires only first-order inclusion probabilities and only for sample units.

Usage

var_FixedPoint(y, pik, maxIter = 1000, eps = 1e-05)

Arguments

y

numeric vector of sample observations

pik

numeric vector of first-order inclusion probabilities for sample units

maxIter

a scalar indicating the maximum number of iterations for the fixed-point procedure

eps

tolerance value for the convergence of the fixed-point procedure

Value

a scalar, the estimated variance
