similar to: calling svydesign function that uses model.frame

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,

How do I retrieve the replicates estimates from a crosstab done using svyby? Here is an example from the help page for svyby in the package: > data(api) > dclus1<-svydesign(id=~dnum, weights=~pw, data=apiclus1, fpc=~fpc) > rclus1<-as.svrepdesign(dclus1) > > a <- svyby(~api99, ~stype, rclus1, svymean, return.replicates=TRUE) > a$replicates NULL But, compare to > b

Good afternoon! I'm trying to use the Survey package for a stratified sample which has 4 criteria on which the stratification is based. I would like to get the corrected weights and for every element i get a weight of 1 E.g: tipping design <- svydesign (id=~1, strata= ~regiune + size_loc + age_rec_hhh + size_hh, data= tabel) and then weights(design) gives

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,

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:

Dear Forum I a running svychisq from the survey package and get errors with the number of dimensions, errors that I do not understand and do not know how to fix. I ask you kindly to help me out. The eror message follows with some information below. I hope there are enough information to help me to fix the problem if not please let me know what is needed Best Stefan Hrafn Jonsson > QHISQ2

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

Just giving the survey package a spin... I'm accustomed to stata, and it seems very similar in many respects. One thing is throwing me, however. I've gotten my data in, and specified the design. Looks like the weighting is right (based on published population estimates from these data), but now I'd like to check my "marginal means" for proportions against those that have

Hello, I want to specify a linear regression model in which the metric outcome is predicted by two factors and their interaction. glm() computes effects for each factor level and the levels of the interaction. In the case of singularities glm() displays "NA" for the corresponding coefficients. However, svyglm() aborts with an error message. Is there a possibility that svyglm()

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

Is there a way to use one of the functions in the survey package to get a table of estimated percentages (or proportions) and the standard error for each? For example, suppose that AGECODE AND SEX are two factors with 5 and 2 levels. The 5x2 AGECODE x SEX table would have the estimated percentage of persons in each cell, 100*(sum of weights in the cell) / (sum of all weights) and the std

This message is for those familiar with the survey package. I need to fit a weighted Cox model to accommodate the sampling weights as I have a case-control study with controls sampled at random from a database in a ratio 2:1 to cases (whom were all sampled). I want to make sure I am using the right svydesign syntax to specify this sampling design. Can anyone please check if the statement below is

Dear all, We are analysing some survey data and we are not sure if we are using the correct syntax for our design. The population of interest is a set of 4416 polygons with different sizes ranging from 0.003 to 45.6 ha, 7460 ha in total. Each polygon has a binary attribute (presence/absence) and we want to estimate the probability of presence in the population. We used sampling with replacement

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

I need some guidance from someone who is familiar/has some experience with the survey package. The data that I am using is from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (www.meps.ahrq.gov <http://www.meps.ahrq.gov/> ). The STRATA and PSU variables are varstr01 and varpsu01 respectively. When I try to specify them with the svydesign function I get an error message. An excerpt of my session

Hi, I have been experimenting with the new Survey package. Specifically, I was trying to use some of the functions on the public-use survey data from NHIS (2000 Sample Adult file). Error 1): The first error I get is when I try to specify the complex survey design. nhis.design<-svydesign(ids=~psu, probs=~probs, strata=~strata, data=nhis.df, check.strata=TRUE) Error in svydesign(ids =

Hi, I'm trying to get standard errors for some of the variables in my data frame. One of the questions on my survey is whether faculty coordinate across curriculum to include Arts Education as subject matter. All the responses are coded in zeros and ones obviously. For some of the other variables I have a 2 for those that responded with "Don't Know". I'm getting NA for

Hello, all. I wanted to use the "survey" package to analyze data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, and am having some difficulty translating the analysis keywords from one package (Stata) to the other (R). The data were collected using a multistage probability sampling, and there are variables included to identify the sampling units and weights. Documentation from the
