Respected all,
I am working on a socio-economic survey (named as
National Sample Survey in India provided by National Sample Survey
Organization, Govt. of India) data of individual as well as households.
This is a sample survey where stratified random sapling method has been
used to draw samples. The data set uses 'weights' to estimate figures for
region, state or country level. In the data set, there is a variable called
weights and I use the *'weight cases'* function to activate weights
under *'Data'
option *in menu bar in SPSS before generating any table or doing any
statistical procedure. So, my question is, is there any package/s in R
where I can use weights and work on this kind of sample survey.
The 'survey' package would seem to be the obvious place to start. Also review: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/SocialSciences.html https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/OfficialStatistics.html
Second thing, is there any package/s to generate multi layer contingency table in R or how can I do this in R. For example, one similar kind of table is attached here which one is created by SPSS from the above stated data-set. Please have a look.
Nothing was attached. Probably not sent in one of the acceptable formats. See the Posting Guide and List Information pages. The table-class objects can have multiple dimensions. The survey package should be able to produce tabular estimates from multiple variables in the design specification.
