Create design-based point and variance estimates from RDBES estimation object (rdbesEstimObj)

doDBestimation(
  x = rdbesEstimObj,
  estimateType = "total",
  pointEstimator = "Unbiased",
  varEstimator = "WRonPSUviaPik",
  stage = 0,
  domainOfinterest = NULL
)

Arguments

x

a data.frame (or data.table) in rdbesEstimObj format with value of target variable in column targetValue

estimateType

a string with type of estimate. As of now only "total" is defined

pointEstimator

a string with type of point estimator. As of now only "Unbiased" is defined

varEstimator

a string with type of variance estimator. As of now only "WRonPSUviaPik" is defined

stage

a natural number (0,1,..) with sampling stage of estimate. 0 corresponds to DE level.

domainOfinterest

list ofdomains of interest (e.g., SAarea). As of now only NULL (=no domain estimate) is defined

Value

a list of values for pointEstimate, varEstimate and estimation options

Examples

if (FALSE) {
data(shrimps)
doDBestimation (x = shrimps, estimateType = "total",
pointEstimator = "Unbiased", varEstimator = "WRonPSUviaPsi",stage = 0,
domainOfinterest = NULL )
 }
