HTmean

Computes the weighted estimator for the mean of a column. Alias for
<code>weightedMean</code>

Provides user-friendly tools for calibration in survey sampling.
The package is production-oriented, and its interface is inspired by the famous
popular macro 'Calmar' for SAS, so that 'Calmar' users can quickly get used to
'icarus'. In addition to calibration (with linear, raking and logit methods),
'icarus' features functions for calibration on tight bounds and penalized
calibration.

HTmean function

<dl><dt>var</dt>
<dd>column of variable of interest</dd>
<dt>weights</dt>
<dd>column of weights matching the variable of interest</dd>
<dt>popTot</dt>
<dd>population size, used in Horvitz-Thompson-like estimation. 
If no value is given for popTot, default value is the sum of weights. In the context
of survey sampling, this is equivalent to using an Hajek estimate.</dd></dl>

Arguments

<dl>

<dt>var</dt>

<dt>popTot</dt>
<dd>population size, used in Horvitz-Thompson-like estimation. 
If no value is given for popTot, default value is the sum of weights. In the context
