param_combine: Overall Population Estimate: Aggregating Subgroup-Specific Parameter Estimates

Description

Function that combines subgroup-specific estimates to obtain an overall population estimate. Options including sample size weighting and adaptive weighting (default; as described in Marceau-West and Mehrotra 2019 in progress).

Usage

param_combine(param.dat, combine = "adaptive", alpha_ovrl = 0.05, ...)

Arguments

param.dat

Parameter data-set with subgroup-specific point estimates, SEs, and sample sizes.

combine

Method to combine subgroup-specific estimates. Default is "adaptive". combine="SS" uses sample size weighting.

alpha_ovrl

Two-sided alpha level for overall population. Default=0.05

...

Any additional parameters, not currently passed through.

Value

Data-frame with overall population point estimate, SE, and CI
