survey_mean.Rd
Calculate means and proportions from complex survey data. A wrapper
around svymean
, or if proportion = TRUE
,
svyciprop
. survey_mean
should always be
called from summarise
.
survey_mean( x, na.rm = FALSE, vartype = c("se", "ci", "var", "cv"), level = 0.95, proportion = FALSE, prop_method = c("logit", "likelihood", "asin", "beta", "mean"), deff = FALSE, df = NULL, ... ) survey_prop( vartype = c("se", "ci", "var", "cv"), level = 0.95, proportion = FALSE, prop_method = c("logit", "likelihood", "asin", "beta", "mean"), deff = FALSE, df = NULL, ... )
x | A variable or expression, or empty |
---|---|
na.rm | A logical value to indicate whether missing values should be dropped |
vartype | Report variability as one or more of: standard error ("se", default), confidence interval ("ci"), variance ("var") or coefficient of variation ("cv"). |
level | (For vartype = "ci" only) A single number or vector of numbers indicating the confidence level |
proportion | Use methods to calculate the proportion that may have more accurate
confidence intervals near 0 and 1. Based on
|
prop_method | Type of proportion method to use if proportion is |
deff | A logical value to indicate whether the design effect should be returned. |
df | (For vartype = "ci" only) A numeric value indicating the degrees of freedom
for t-distribution. The default (NULL) uses |
... | Ignored |
Using survey_prop
is equivalent to leaving out the x
argument in
survey_mean
and this calculates the proportion represented within the
data, with the last grouping variable "unpeeled". interact
allows for "unpeeling" multiple variables at once.
