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

Usage

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