Overview

About

Maintained by Leila Marvian MashhadCRAN page ↗

Implements design-aware, margin-constrained estimation of population indicators for geographic areas crossed with demographic subgroups. Complex-survey microdata supply outcomes and association information, while one or more aggregate census tables supply overlapping population margins. A generalized iterative proportional fitting engine reconstructs a coherent latent population table, and an augmented model-assisted estimator produces domain means, proportions, and totals for sampled and unsampled intersections. Tools diagnose non-identification, compute linear-programming sensitivity bounds, propagate sampling and model uncertainty with replicate-weight or multiplier bootstrap procedures, enforce structural zeros, and benchmark estimates to official totals. The framework extends calibration ideas from Deville and Sarndal (1992) doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475217 and small area estimation ideas from Fay and Herriot (1979) doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505.

Changes in 0.1.0

Introduces design-aware survey objects and validated census-margin objects.
Adds coherent reconstruction of latent multiway population tables from overlapping census margins, including structural-zero support.
Adds augmented model-assisted estimates for intersectional domains.
Adds rank diagnostics and optional linear-programming identification bounds.
Adds multiplier and supplied-replicate-weight bootstrap inference.
Adds benchmarking, margin diagnostics, simulation, and reproducible examples.

Install

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

install.packages("interSAE", 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-intersae

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-interSAE

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-interSAE

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.
