Hi
Pls, keep conversation on list, you can get answer from others, more capable
than myself in survey analysis. As I said I am not an expert in this task but
you seem to seek some statistical help. For this maybe stackexchange can be more
appropriate.
If you want some help here, you should present some data (not necessarily real),
some R code and what did you expect and did not get.
I went through help for survey and plm but did not find any mention that those
two packages are somehow related. In some survey functions you can use weight
argument but I did not find any note that these functions could result in object
suitable for plm
Cheers

Subject: Re: [R] apply weight to a data frame
Thank you for your answer.
The data frame contains social and economic variables (like sex, education
level, age, income, wealth and so on); since the survey is conduct on a number
of family smaller than the national one, I should use survey weights to make the
survey's data more representative (the survey data could be influenced by
the family choosen, using the survey weights the data should be adjusted).
Now I am trying to get a weighted data frame using the survey package (to
replicate weights) ; in this way I hope I will be able to use the plm package
without problems.
Do you think it could be right?

Hi
I do not know much about plm but your request seems to me pretty cryptic,
probably even for knowledgeable person.
There is no weight argument in plm call so I wonder how do you want to
"weight data frame".
The only weighting scheme for data frame I can imagine is to repeat rows somehow
according to weight value, but I do not consider it proper way.
You should probably explain what do you mean by data frame weighing to get
relevant answer.
But I may be completely out of understanding your problem.
Cheers
