Overview

About

Maintained by Ben MainwaringFirst published 2022-05-032 releasesCRAN page ↗

Quickly and flexibly calculates weights for survey data, in order to correct for survey non-response or other sampling issues. Uses rake weighting, a common technique also know as rim weighting or iterative proportional fitting. This technique allows for weighting on multiple variables, even when the interlocked distribution of the two variables is not known. Interacts with Thomas Lumley's 'survey' package, as described in Lumley, Thomas (2011, ISBN:978-1-118-21093-2). Adds additional functionality, more adaptable syntax, and error-checking to the base weighting functionality in 'survey.'

Install

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

install.packages("svyweight", 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-svyweight

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-svyweight

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-svyweight

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
