Anthro

The dataset consists of 1007 observations and 6 variables of children aged between 0 and 60 months from the Central-West of Brazil. The data is a subset of the 2006 Brazilian National Demographic Health Survey of Women and Children (NDHS), which is a complex survey where the sampling units were selected in two stages: primary sampling units (PSUs) comprised census tracts, and secondary sampling units (SSUs) consisted of households. Tract selection in each stratum was designed to ensure a minimum number of blood samples, based on the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency in children.

datasets

Provides Bayesian quantile regression models for complex survey data
under informative sampling using survey-weighted estimators. Both single- and
multiple-output models are supported. To accelerate computation, all algorithms
are implemented in 'C++' using 'Rcpp', 'RcppArmadillo', and 'RcppEigen', and
are called from 'R'. See Nascimento and Gonçalves (2024) <doi:10.1093/jssam/smae015>
and Nascimento and Gonçalves (2025, in press) <https://academic.oup.com/jssam>.
