E.STpiPS {TeachingSampling}

Estimation of the Population Total under Stratified Probability Proportional to Size Sampling Without Replacement

Description

Computes the Horvitz-Thompson estimator of the population total according to a probability proportional to size sampling without replacement design in each stratum

Usage

E.STpiPS(y, pik, S)

Arguments

y

Vector, matrix or data frame containing the recollected information of the variables of interest for every unit in the selected sample

pik

A vector containing inclusion probabilities for each unit in the sample

S

Vector identifying the membership to the strata of each unit in selected sample

Details

Returns the estimation of the population total of every single variable of interest, its estimated standard error, its estimated coefficient of variation and its corresponding DEFF in all of the strata and finally in the entire population

Value

The function returns an array composed by several matrices representing each variable of interest. The columns of each matrix correspond to the estimated parameters of the variables of interest in each stratum and in the entire population
