surveysd 2.0.0

CRAN release: 2025-08-26

  • Fixed issue if parameter period was type haven::labelled in calc.stError().

  • Refactored code to make use of new data.table variable env. Makes code more readable and stable.

  • calc.stError() has new parameter group.diff. If group.diff=TRUE differences between values defined in group will also be calculated. For instance

    library(surveysd)
set.seed(1234)
eusilc <- demo.eusilc(n = 4,prettyNames = TRUE)
dat_boot <- draw.bootstrap(eusilc, REP = 3, hid = "hid", weights = "pWeight",
                           strata = "region", period = "year")
dat_boot_calib <- recalib(dat_boot, conP.var = "gender", conH.var = "region")

# estimate weightedRatio for povertyRisk per period
err.est <- calc.stError(dat_boot_calib, var = "povertyRisk",
                        fun = weightedRatio, group = "gender",
                        group.diff = TRUE)

    will produce difference in poverty rate between male and female, in addition to other estimates.

  • Updated vignette accordingly.

  • Fixed bug with parameter adjust.var and fun.adjust.var in function calc.stError().

  • Changed parameter national to relative.share in calc.stError() included a deprecate-message if national = TRUE is supplied.

  • Fixed issue with parameter looseH in function ipf().

  • Fixed bug that variables names created by internal functions where not properly cleaned up before returning data.table output.

  • Improved summary.ipf() and included print.summary.ipf() in order to make the output of ipf() as well as convergence issues when using ipf() more intuitive.

  • New parameter method in draw.bootstrap() and rescaled.bootstrap(). Can bei either "Preston" or "Rao-Wu", see ?draw.bootstrap() or the new vignette.

  • draw.bootstrap() can now be used to draw bootstrap replicates if bootstrap replicates where drawn for previous year with parameter already.selected. already.selected expects a list of data.tables indicating if a record was already included in a bootstrap replicates in the previous period

  • New function get.selection() to create input for parameter already.selected in draw.bootstrap().

  • Updated and included (more) unit tests.

surveysd 1.3.2

  • rescaled.bootstrap() has additional parameter period which is identical to the one in draw.bootstrap. If period is not NULL the boostraps will be drawn such that in each period and strata/cluster only $\floor{\frac{n}{2}}$ records are drawn. This produces more consisten results and should make calibration afterwards easier.
  • Improved numerical weighting with computeLinearG1 for use with ipf(). computeLinearG1 is now more stable when only numerical variables are used for weighting.
  • parameter numericalWeighting can be passed to recalib and will correctly be passed along to function ipf

surveysd 1.3

  • new parameter minMaxTrim in ipf() to trim weights
  • fix bug for numericalWeighting reported “converged” when it did not converge
  • fix bug when checking cluster and strata for bootstrapping

surveysd 1.2

  • Add vignette about ipf()
  • Resolve bug that appeared if constraints contained only one household or only one person (#17)
