Hi all I am hoping to use the SamplingStrata R package for a dataset describing a population of businesses wherein I have information on the type of business, as well as, for designated employment number bands, number of employees and business turnover information. So in this context the employment number bands can be described as micro, small, medium and large, i.e. size of business. Hence I would like the stratification to be business type X business size. I note that SamplingStrata allows for multivariate scenarios and the data frame should be straightforward to set up, but in terms of "domains" which descriptor should be used for this? I am assuming I can use both number of employees and business turnover information to optimise the stratification sampling procedure. thank you in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
1. There is no question here. 2. In any case, this is not a code writing service, so a question about how to code models without any offering of your own attempts might not be replied to anyway. 3. For what sorts of queries you might expect replies to, please read and follow the posting guide below. Also, if you do post, please post in plaint text, not html, as the latter (especially code) can get mangled by the mail server.

Hi Bert thank you for the reply. Not a coding query as such. Just wanted some pointers towards how to handle strata using the package in my situation, i.e. business type X business size with information for count and financial turnover. many thanks On 31 October 2017 at 14:37, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote:> 1.
