deffCR

Chen-Rust design effect


Description

Chen-Rust design effect for stratified, clustered, two-stage samples

Usage

deffCR(w, strvar=NULL, clvar=NULL, Wh=NULL, nest=FALSE, y)

Arguments

w

vector of weights for a sample

strvar

vector of stratum identifiers; equal in length to that of w.

clvar

vector of cluster identifiers; equal in length to that of w.

Wh

vector of the proportions of elements that are in each stratum; length is number of strata.

nest

Are cluster IDs numbered within strata (TRUE or FALSE)? If TRUE, cluster IDs can be restarted within strata, e.g., 1,2,3,1,2,3,...

y

vector of the sample values of an analysis variable

Details

The Chen-Rust deff accounts for stratification, clustering, and unequal weights, but does not account for the use of any auxiliary data in the estimator of a mean. The Chen-Rust deff returned here is appropriate for stratified, two-stage sampling.

Value

A list with components:

strata components

Matrix with deff's due to weighting, clustering, and stratification for each stratum

overall deff

Design effect for full sample accounting for weighting, clustering, and stratification
