var_est_data_prep_cond

Create the static conditions that can be used in the macro %var_est_data_prep for the different sampling techniques.

%var_est_data_prep_cond(smpl =, cty_var =, wght_var=, 
    strt_var=, srs_sos_clstr_var =, sts_clstr_var = );

Arguments

• smpl : 3 character length string defining the sampling techniques:
  • srs - simple random sampling,
  • sos - stratified one-stage sampling,
  • sts - stratified two-stage sampling;
• cty_var : the name of the column in the input dataset which contains the country codes;
• wght_var : the name of the column in the input dataset which contains the weight information;
• strt_var : the name of the column in the input dataset which contains the strata information for the sos and sts sampling;
• srs_sos_clstr_var : the name of the column in the input dataset which contains the cluster information for the srs and sos sampling;
• sts_clstr_var : the name of the column in the input dataset which contains the cluster information for the sts sampling.

Returns

A string containing the correct variables as strata and cluster for the list of countries based on the sampling type.

Examples

Run for instance:

%var_est_data_prep_cond(smpl = srs , cty_var = DB020, wght_var= RB050a, srs_sos_clstr_var = DB030);
