sample.ratio | R Documentation |
This function demonstrates the advantage of ratio estimation when further information (ratio) about x and y is available.
sample.ratio(
X = runif(50, 0, 5),
R = 1,
Y = R * X + rnorm(X),
size = length(X)/2,
p.col = c("blue", "red"),
p.cex = c(1, 3),
p.pch = c(20, 21),
m.col = c("black", "gray"),
legend.loc = "topleft",
...
)
X |
the X variable (ancillary) |
R |
the population ratio Y/X |
Y |
the Y variable (whose mean we what to estimate) |
size |
sample size |
p.col, p.cex, p.pch |
point colors, magnification and symbols for the population and sample respectively |
m.col |
color for the horizontal line to denote the sample mean of Y |
legend.loc |
legend location: topleft, topright, bottomleft,
bottomright, ... (see |

From this demonstration we can clearly see that the ratio estimation is generally better than the simple sample average when the ratio R really exists, otherwise ratio estimation may not help.
