svyafcdec: Alkire-Foster multidimensional poverty decompostition

Description

Decomposition of indices from the Alkire-Foster class

Usage

svyafcdec(formula, subgroup, design, ...)
# S3 method for survey.design
svyafcdec(
  formula,
  subgroup = ~1,
  design,
  g,
  cutoffs,
  k,
  dimw = NULL,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  ...
)
# S3 method for svyrep.design
svyafcdec(
  formula,
  subgroup = ~1,
  design,
  g,
  cutoffs,
  k,
  dimw = NULL,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  ...
)
# S3 method for DBIsvydesign
svyafcdec(formula, subgroup = ~1, design, ...)

Arguments

formula

a formula specifying the variables. Variables can be numeric or ordered factors.

subgroup

a formula defining the group variable for decomposition.

design

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

...

future expansion

g

a scalar defining the exponent of the indicator.

cutoffs

a list defining each variable's deprivation limit.

k

a scalar defining the multidimensional cutoff.

dimw

a vector defining the weight of each dimension in the multidimensional deprivation sum.

na.rm

Should cases with missing values be dropped?

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.
