Utility functions for EU-SILC data

Description

Various utility functions mainly used for simulating EU-SILC data

Usage

loadSILC(
  file = NULL,
  filed = NULL,
  filer = NULL,
  filep = NULL,
  fileh = NULL,
  year = 2013,
  country = "Austria"
)

mergeSILC(filed, filer, fileh, filep)

checkCol(x, y)

chooseSILCvars(
  x,
  vars = c("db030", "db040", "rb030", "rb080", "rb090", "pl031", "pb220a", "py010g",
    "py021g", "py050g", "py080g", "py090g", "py100g", "py110g", "py120g", "py130g",
    "py140g", "hy040g", "hy050g", "hy060g", "hy070g", "hy080g", "hy090g", "hy100g",
    "hy110g", "hy120g", "hy130g", "hy140g", "db090", "rb050", "pb190", "pe040", "pl051",
    "pl111", "rb010"),
  country = NULL
)

modifySILC(x, country = "Austria")

Arguments

file

data set in R binary format, csv or sav (SPSS) of merged EU-SILC data.

filed

data set including the household register information

filer

data set including the personal register information

filep

data set including the personal information

fileh

data set including the household information

year

year of origin

country

country

x

public-use file (for checkCol function) or orginal data

y

scientific-use file (for checkCol function)

vars

variables to be selected for function chooseSILCvars

Details

Collection of functions to import, select and modify data EU-SILC data. Either file (merged data) or single files have to be provided for loadSILC().

## End(Not run)
data(eusilc13puf)
## instead of scientific-use file or
## original data we took the 2006 synthetic data
data(eusilcS)
## check which columns of y are in x
checkCol(eusilc13puf, eusilcS)
## Not run: 
## on original silc data to extract needed variables for SGA project on SILC
x <- loadSILC("new_workfile.RData")
chooseSILCvars(x)

## End(Not run)
## Not run: 
## wrapper to prepare SILC data
## on original silc data
x <- loadSILC("new_workfile.RData")
x <- chooseSILCvars(x)
modifySILC(x)
