sreg_pips: Semiparametric Model-Assisted Estimation under a Proportional to Size Sampling Design

Description

sreg_pips is used to estimate the total parameter of a finite population generated from a semi-parametric generalized gamma population under a proportional to size without-replacement sampling design.

Usage

sreg_pips(location_formula, scale_formula, data, x, n, ...)

Arguments

location_formula

a symbolic description of the systematic component of the location model to be fitted.

scale_formula

a symbolic description of the systematic component of the scale model to be fitted.

data

a data frame, list containing the variables in the model.

x

vector, an auxiliary variable to calculate the inclusion probabilities of each unit.

n

numeric, sample size.

...

further parameters accepted by caret and survey functions.

Value

sampling_design is the name of the sampling design used in the estimation process.

N is the population size.

n is the sample size used in the estimation process.

first_order_probabilities vector of the first order probabilities used in the estimation process.

sample is the random sample used in the estimation process.

estimated_total_y_sreg is the SREG estimate of the total parameter of the finite population.
