Overview

About

Maintained by Ben SchneiderCRAN page ↗

Provides access to the Idea Data Center (IDC) application for conducting nonresponse bias analysis (NRBA). The IDC NRBA app is an interactive, browser-based Shiny application that can be used to analyze survey data with respect to response rates, representativeness, and nonresponse bias. This app provides a user-friendly interface to statistical methods implemented by the 'nrba' package. Krenzke, Van de Kerckhove, and Mohadjer (2005) http://www.asasrms.org/Proceedings/y2005/files/JSM2005-000572.pdf and Lohr and Riddles (2016) https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2016002/article/14677-eng.pdf?st=q7PyNsGR provide an overview of the statistical methods implemented in the application.

Changes in 1.1.0

Added links to the IDC website and user guide.
For an attempted census, when the app creates replicate weights, it uses the random-groups jackknife method. This should drastically increase speed.
For the analysis type comparing estimates to external benchmark data, user-entered percentages must sum to 100.
The progress bar now appears for every analysis type in the app.
Informative error messages are shown for most analysis types when the user supplies a dataset with only respondents in it.

Install

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

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

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

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-idcnrba

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-idcnrba

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-idcnrba

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.
