calibVars {simPop}

Construct a matrix of binary variables for calibration

Description

Construct a matrix of binary variables for calibration of sample weights according to known marginal population totals. The following methods are implemented:

• calibVars.default(x)

• calibVars.matrix(x)

• calibVars.matrix(x)

• calibVars.data.frame(x)

Usage

calibVars(x)

Arguments

x

a vector that can be interpreted as factor, or a matrix or data.frame consisting of such variables.

Value

A matrix of binary variables that indicate membership to the corresponding factor levels.
