Overview

About

Maintained by Matthias TemplFirst published 2026-02-091 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides methods for correcting heaping (digit preference) in survey data at the individual record level. Age heaping, where respondents disproportionately report ages ending in 0 or 5, is a common phenomenon that can distort demographic analyses. Unlike traditional smoothing methods that only correct aggregated statistics, this package corrects individual values by replacing a calculated proportion of heaped observations with draws from fitted truncated distributions (log-normal, normal, or uniform). Supports 5-year and 10-year heaping patterns, single heap correction, and optional model-based adjustment to preserve covariate relationships.
