svyisq {convey}

Linearization of the total below a quantile

Description

Computes the linearized variable of the total in the lower tail of the distribution of a variable.

Usage

svyisq(formula, design, ...)

## S3 method for class 'survey.design'
svyisq(
  formula,
  design,
  alpha,
  quantile = FALSE,
  upper = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  deff = FALSE,
  linearized = FALSE,
  influence = FALSE,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'svyrep.design'
svyisq(
  formula,
  design,
  alpha,
  quantile = FALSE,
  upper = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  deff = FALSE,
  linearized = FALSE,
  return.replicates = FALSE,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'DBIsvydesign'
svyisq(formula, design, ...)

Arguments

formula

a formula specifying the income variable

design

a design object of class survey.design or class svyrep.design from the survey library.

...

arguments passed on to 'survey::oldsvyquantile'

alpha

the order of the quantile

quantile

return the upper bound of the lower tail

upper

return the total in the total in the upper tail. Defaults to FALSE.

na.rm

Should cases with missing values be dropped?

deff

Return the design effect (see survey::svymean)

linearized

Should a matrix of linearized variables be returned

influence

Should a matrix of (weighted) influence functions be returned? (for compatibility with svyby)

return.replicates

Return the replicate estimates?

Details

you must run the convey_prep function on your survey design object immediately after creating it with the svydesign or svrepdesign function.

Value

Object of class "cvystat", which are vectors with a "var" attribute giving the variance and a "statistic" attribute giving the name of the statistic.
