J-divergence measure
Description
Estimate the J-divergence measure, an entropy-based measure of inequality
Usage
svyjdiv(formula, design, ...)
## S3 method for class 'survey.design'
svyjdiv(
formula,
design,
na.rm = FALSE,
deff = FALSE,
linearized = FALSE,
influence = FALSE,
...
)
## S3 method for class 'svyrep.design'
svyjdiv(
formula,
design,
na.rm = FALSE,
deff = FALSE,
linearized = FALSE,
return.replicates = FALSE,
...
)
## S3 method for class 'DBIsvydesign'
svyjdiv(formula, design, ...)
Arguments
formula |
a formula specifying the income variable |
design |
a design object of class |
... |
future expansion |
na.rm |
Should cases with missing values be dropped? |
deff |
Return the design effect (see |
linearized |
Should a matrix of linearized variables be returned |
influence |
Should a matrix of (weighted) influence functions be returned? (for compatibility with |
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.
This measure only allows for strictly positive variables.
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.
