BLE_SRS {BayesSampling} | R Documentation |
Simple Random Sample BLE
Description
Creates the Bayes Linear Estimator for the Simple Random Sampling design (without replacement)
Usage
BLE_SRS(ys, N, m = NULL, v = NULL, sigma = NULL, n = NULL)
Arguments
ys |
vector of sample observations or sample mean ( |
N |
total size of the population. |
m |
prior mean. If |
v |
prior variance of an element from the population (bigger than |
sigma |
prior estimate of variability (standard deviation) within the population. If |
n |
sample size. Necessary only if |
Value
A list containing the following components:
-
est.beta
- BLE of Beta (BLE for every individual) -
Vest.beta
- Variance associated with the above -
est.mean
- BLE for each individual not in the sample -
Vest.mean
- Covariance matrix associated with the above -
est.tot
- BLE for the total -
Vest.tot
- Variance associated with the above
