Peter Ehlers You haven't told us how you obtained these data that you want to weight, but if you used some kind of non-SRS sampling plan (e.g. stratified, or cluster sample) then you should look at the survey package.

Re: [R] Creating a weighted sample - Help
Hi Thanks for responses. The sample I have taken is a random sample from H, I, J and K. The further analysis I want to do is all around bad debt rates so it could be (H/H+I)*100 = Bad rate percentage also population stability calculations that are all related to credit scoring. I want to be able to report back on any variable that I have in my data set based on my factored counts (A) of 10,000 - so every calculation is based on 10,000 account in the correct proportions. Does his help?

Does his help? Thanks once again Louise Louise, It appears that you have done a stratified random sample of four types of accounts and have oversampled the less frequent account types. You definitely should consider doing your analyses using the survey package (or similar package) that appropriately accounts for the sampling variability. Otherwise, your variances / standard errors are going to be incorrect. Dan Daniel J.
