Function that combines subgroup-specific estimates to obtain an overall population estimate. Options including sample size weighting and max Z weighting
param_combine(param.dat, combine = "SS", alpha = 0.05, ...)
Parameter data-set with subgroup-specific point estimates, SEs, and sample sizes.
Method to combine subgroup-specific estimates. Default is "SS", or sample size weighting. Another option is "maxZ"(see Mehrotra and Marceau-West 2021).
Two-sided alpha level for overall population. Default=0.05
Any additional parameters, not currently passed through.
