lin.ratio: Linearization of the ratio estimator

Description

Computes linearized variable for the ratio estimator.

Usage

lin.ratio(Y, Z, weight, Dom = NULL, percentratio = 1)

Arguments

Y
Matrix of numerator variables. Any object convertible to data.table with numeric values, NA values are not allowed.
Z
Matrix of denominator variables. Any object convertible to data.table with numeric values, NA values are not allowed.
weight
Weight variable. One dimensional object convertible to one-column data.table.
Dom
Optional variables used to define population domains. If supplied, the linearized variables are computed for each domain. An object convertible to data.table.
percentratio
Positive integer value. All linearized variables are multiplied with percentratio value, by default - 1.

Value

  • The function returns the data.table of the linearized variables for the ratio estimator.

Examples

Run this code
Y <- data.table(Y=rchisq(10, 3))
Z <- data.table(Z=rchisq(10, 3))
weights <- rep(2, 10)
data.table(Y, Z, weights, 
           V1=lin.ratio(Y, Z, weights, percentratio=1),
           V10=lin.ratio(Y, Z, weights, percentratio=10),
           V100=lin.ratio(Y, Z, weights, percentratio=100))
