Version 3.26 of the survey package is percolating through CRAN. Since the last announcement on this list, of version 3.20, about 18 months ago, the main changes are -- an option to calculate replicate-weight variances from sums of squares around the point estimate rather than from the variance of the replicates ("MSE" style) -- Preston's multistage rescaled bootstrap, which is valid for any number of stages of sampling and arbitrary sampling fractions -- wider use of, and better asymptotic approximations for the Rao-Scott likelihood ratio tests -- trimming of weights A lot of minor bugs and infelicities have also been fixed. More details are in the NEWS file. -thomas -- Thomas Lumley Professor of Biostatistics University of Auckland _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
