convey (version 0.2.1)

svyqsr: Quintile Share Ratio

Description

Estimate ratio of the total income received by the highest earners to the total income received by lowest earners, defaulting to 20

Usage

svyqsr(formula, design, ...)

# S3 method for survey.design svyqsr(formula, design, alpha1 = 0.2, alpha2 = (1 - alpha1), na.rm = FALSE, upper_quant = FALSE, lower_quant = FALSE, upper_tot = FALSE, lower_tot = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for svyrep.design svyqsr(formula, design, alpha1 = 0.2, alpha2 = (1 - alpha1), na.rm = FALSE, upper_quant = FALSE, lower_quant = FALSE, upper_tot = FALSE, lower_tot = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for DBIsvydesign svyqsr(formula, design, ...)

Arguments

formula

a formula specifying the income variable

design

a design object of class survey.design or class svyrep.design from the survey library.

...

future expansion

alpha1

order of the lower quintile

alpha2

order of the upper quintile

na.rm

Should cases with missing values be dropped?

upper_quant

return the lower bound of highest earners

lower_quant

return the upper bound of lowest earners

upper_tot

return the highest earners total

lower_tot

return the lowest earners total

Value

Object of class "cvystat", which are vectors with a "var" attribute giving the variance and a "statistic" attribute giving the name of the statistic.

Details

you must run the convey_prep function on your survey design object immediately after creating it with the svydesign or svrepdesign function.
