Problem with svyvar in survey package
I am facing a problem with a function in survey package. The function svyvar gives the estimated population variance from a given sampling scheme. I am working with a data having more than four continuous variables. In order to have have population total for all those cont. variables I have written in the following format svyvar(~var1+var2+var3+var4+var5+var6,data) ; var1,var2,...,var6 are 6

Strange result in survey package: svyvar
Hi R users, I'm using the survey package to calculate summary statistics for a large health survey (the Demographic and Health Survey for Honduras, 2006), and when I try to calculate the variances for several variables, I get negative numbers. I thought it may be my data, so I ran the example on the help page: data(api) ## one-stage cluster sample dclus1<-svydesign(id=~dnum, weights=~pw,

svyplot and svysmooth with hexbin
Hi all- So sorry to bother you all with something pretty basic. I am trying to add the lines method output from svysmooth to a svyplot with style="grayhex". However, the line either appears in the wrong place or if I am running in R Studio it causes the system to crash. I know this is something to do with Lattice graphics, but for the life of me I can not figure out how. Dr. Lumley

Unexpected scores from weighted PCA with svyprcomp()
Hello! I'd like to create an assets-based economic indicator using data from a national household survey. The economic indicator is to be the first principal component from a principal components analysis, which (given the source of the data) I believe should take in consideration the sampling weights of the observations. After running the PCA with svyprcomp(), from the survey package, I

CI from svyquantile in survey package
I am having trouble understanding (i.e. getting) confidence intervals from the survey package. I am using R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22) and survey package (3.11-2) on FC7 linux. To simplify my question I use an example from that package: R> data(api) R> dclus1<-svydesign(id=~dnum, weights=~pw, data=apiclus1, fpc=~fpc) R> (tst <- svyby(~api99, ~stype,

"object not found" within function
Hi, I am trying to write a function to compute many cross-tabulations with the -svytable- command. Here is a simplified example of the structure of my code (adapted from the -svytable- help file): data(api) func.example<-function(variable){ dclus1<-svydesign(id=~1, weights=~pw,data=apiclus1, fpc=~fpc) svytable(~ variable, dclus1) } When I call this function with:

Recoding Multiple Variables in a Data Frame in One Step
Hi, I can't for the life of me find how to do this in base R, but I'd be surprised if it's not possible. I'm just trying to replace multiple columns at once in a data frame. #load example data data(api) #this displays the three columns and eight rows i'd like to replace apiclus1[ apiclus1$meals > 98 , c( "pcttest" , "api00" , "sch.wide" ) ]

How do I retrieve the replicates estimates from a crosstab done using svyby?

Analysis of Complex Survey Data
Hi all I would like to perform a logistic regression analysis on some complex survey data with R, but am not sure if there are functions within R that will enable me to do so. Also, are there any extensions of the "cor" function that would enable me to incorporate survey weights when calculating correlation coefficients for bivariate data. Any help on this matter will be greatly

SVY: variance inflation factor VIF with complex survey
Hello, Seeking a way to get the variance inflation factor VIF for a model of regression in complex survey, I have understood that without this package (SURVEY) RGui VIF obtained as follows: fit <- lm(mpg~disp+hp+wt+drat, data=mtcars) vif(fit) But I want to know if survey, Vif is obtained so vif( svyglm(api00~ell+meals+mobility, design=dstrat)) Thank you, happy day

survey: estimating a covariance matrix
Hello Does anybody happen to know if it is possible to use the survey package to estimate a covariance matrix from a complex survey? I have design weights and clusters (no strata), and want to get a covariance matrix with preferably the effective sample size or else an estimate of the variance-covariance matrix of the covariance matrix ("asymptotic covariance matrix"). Is this

using survey weights for correlations
Dear list, I have a data file which includes, alongside various variables representing questionnaire scores, a variable for survey weights computed as the number of observations in the sample drawn from that group divided by the number of observations in the population in the group. I need to calculate a covariance matrix of the questionnaire scores for use in sem. How do I apply the weights?

crosstable and regression for survey data (weighted)
I have survey data that I am working on. I need to make some multi-way tables and regression analyses on the data. After attaching the data, this is the code I use for tables for four variables (sweight is the weight variable): > a <- xtabs(sweight~research.area + gender + a2n2 + age) > tmp <- ftable(a) Is this correct? I don't think I need to use the strata and cluster

Advice on package design for handling of dots in a formula
I am working on a new package, one in which the user needs to specify the role that different variables play in the analysis. Where I'm stumped is the best way to have users specify those roles. Approach #1: Separate formula for each special component First I thought to have users specify each formula separately, like: new.function(formula=y~X1+X2+X3, weights=~w,

sums of absolute deviations about the median as split function in rpart
Dear R community, as stated in Breiman et.al. (1984) and De'Ath & Fabricius (2000) using sums of absolute deviations about the median as an impurity measure gives robust trees. I would like to use this method in rpart. Has somebody already tried this method in rpart? Is there maybe already a script available somewhere? I am aware of the possibility to define usersplits myself with
