prepareInputToAllocation1 {R2BEAT}

Input dataframes for R2BEAT two-stages sample design when sampling frame is available

Description

In case of scenario 1 (no previous round of the survey available), prepares the following input dataframes for R2BEAT two-stages sample design starting from the sampling frame: 1. strata 2. deff 3. effst 4. rho 5. PSU_file 6. des_file

Usage

prepareInputToAllocation1 ( 
  samp_frame,
  id_PSU,
  id_SSU,
  strata_var,
  target_vars,
  deff_var,
  domain_var,
  minimum,
  delta,
  deff_sugg) 

Arguments

samp_frame

The dataframe containing sampling units in the reference population.

id_PSU

variables used as identifiers in sampling frame.

id_SSU

variables used as identifiers in sampling frame.

strata_var

stratification variable used in sampling frame.

target_vars

target variables.

deff_var

stratification variable to be used when calculating deff.

domain_var

the variable used to identify the domain of interest.

minimum

minimum number of SSU to be selected from a PSU.

delta

average number of analysis units per sampling unit.

deff_sugg

suggested value of the deff.

Value

A list containing (i) the vector of allocated PSUs in the iterations and (ii) the vector of allocated SSUs in the iterations
