vardpoor-package: Variance Estimation for Sample Surveys by the Ultimate Cluster Method

Description

Generation of domain variables, linearization of several nonlinear population statistics (the ratio of two totals, weighted income percentile, at risk of poverty rate, at risk of poverty threshold, Gini coefficient, gender pay gap, the aggregate replacement ratio, the relative median income ratio, median income of individuals below at risk of poverty gap, income quintile share ratio, relative median at risk of poverty gap), computation of regression residuals in case of weight calibration, variance estimation of sample surveys by the ultimate cluster method (Hansen, Hurwitz and Madow, Theory, vol. I: Methods and Applications; vol. II: Theory. 1953, New York: John Wiley and Sons.), variance estimation for longitudinal, cross - sectional measures and measures of change for single and multistage stage cluster sampling designs (Berger, Y. G. ,2015, ). Several other precision measures are derived - standard error, the coefficient of variation, the margin of error, confidence interval, design effect.
