svyisq: Linearization of the total below a quantile

Description

Computes the linearized variable of the total in the lower tail of the distribution of a variable.

Usage

svyisq(formula, design, ...)
# S3 method for survey.design
svyisq(formula, design, alpha, quantile = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for svyrep.design
svyisq(formula, design, alpha, quantile = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for DBIsvydesign
svyisq(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.

...

arguments passed on to `survey::svyquantile`

alpha

the order of the quantile

quantile

return the upper bound of the lower tail

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.
