tbl_svy {srvyr}

tbl_svy object.

Description

A tbl_svy wraps a locally stored svydesign and adds methods for dplyr single-table verbs like mutate, group_by and summarise. Create a tbl_svy using as_survey_design.

Methods

tbl_df implements these methods from dplyr.

select or rename

Select or rename variables in a survey's dataset.

mutate or transmute

Modify and create variables in a survey's dataset.

group_by and summarise

Get descriptive statistics from survey.

Examples

library(survey)
library(dplyr)
data(api)
svy <- as_survey_design(apistrat, strata = stype, weights = pw)
svy

# Data manipulation verbs ---------------------------------------------------
filter(svy, pcttest > 95)
select(svy, starts_with("acs")) # variables used in survey design are automatically kept
summarise(svy, col.grad = survey_mean(col.grad))
mutate(svy, api_diff = api00 - api99)

# Group by operations -------------------------------------------------------
# To calculate survey
svy_group <- group_by(svy, dname)

summarise(svy, col.grad = survey_mean(col.grad),
          api00 = survey_mean(api00, vartype = "ci"))
