SUMMER (version 0.2.3)

countrySummary: Obtain the Horvitz-Thompson direct estimates and standard errors using delta method for a single survey.

Description

Obtain the Horvitz-Thompson direct estimates and standard errors using delta method for a single survey.

Usage

countrySummary(births, years, regionVar = "region", timeVar = "time",
  clusterVar = "~v001+v002", ageVar = "age", weightsVar = "v005",
  geo.recode = NULL, national.only = FALSE)

Arguments

births

A matrix child-month data from getBirths

years

String vector of the year intervals used

regionVar

Variable name for region in the input births data.

timeVar

Variable name for the time period indicator in the input births data.

clusterVar

Variable name for cluster, typically '~v001 + v002'

ageVar

Variable name for age group. This variable need to be in the form of "a-b" where a and b are both ages in months. For example, "1-11" means age between 1 and 11 months, including both end points. An exception is age less than one month can be represented by "0" or "0-0".

weightsVar

Variable name for sampling weights, typically 'v005'

geo.recode

The recode matrix to be used if region name is not consistent across different surveys. See ChangeRegion.

national.only

Logical indicator to obtain only the national estimates

Value

a matrix of period-region summary of the Horvitz-Thompson direct estimates by region and time period specified in the argument, the standard errors using delta method for a single survey, the 95% confidence interval, and the logit of the estimates.
