I have looked through the new "Complex Surveys" book and the documentation for the "survey" package and it appears to me that there are no functions in "survey" that help one to design a sampling scheme. For example, in the book section 2.8 discusses the design of stratified samples, but there is no mention of any functions in the "survey" package that implement the discussed strategies. So, am I missing something obvious here or is the "survey" package meant only for analyzing survey data once you have it in hand?
Yes. > packageDescription("survey") Package: survey Title: analysis of complex survey samples [...] For drawing samples, see e.g. the sampling package: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sampling/index.html HTH, Tobias ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
