Overview

About

Maintained by Kunxiang MaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: WEIAN DATA TECH (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

Provides a disciplined precheck, execution, and diagnostics workflow for survey weighting and raking. Weight construction requires design-only data, a verified external target, outcome-blind planning, and human approval before weight locking, with bilingual reports for decision and statistical audiences. Converts calibrated and replicate weights into standard survey designs, provides optional broom-style result projections, and records serializable production pipeline provenance. Supports fixed, predeclared soft calibration tolerances and categorical entropy balancing from verified margins, plus panel attrition weighting, high-influence unit diagnostics, Fay's balanced repeated replication, and opt-in parallel execution for long runs. Calibration methods follow Deville and Saerndal (1992) doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475217, and entropy balancing follows Hainmueller (2012) doi:10.1093/pan/mpr025.

Changes in 2.0.1

Documentation-only release prepared in response to the CRAN pre-acceptance

review of 2.0.0. No user-visible behavior changed.

wf_report() now carries a self-contained, executable example built on wf_attrition() weights, replacing the previous \dontrun{} block.
The non-installed prototype in inst/reference/wfc_future_usability.R restores graphics::par() with the explicit oldpar idiom instead of on.exit(), matching the CRAN convention for script files.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("WFC", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("weiandata/WFC")

Development version from weiandata/WFC. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-wfc

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-WFC

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-WFC

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
