Create a table of target population parameters to be used for weighting data

Use define_target_y2() to create a table of target population parameters to be used for weighting data. To avoid typos, define_target_y2() will automatically create an object in your R environment using the provided variable to create the name (e.g., "target_varname").

Usage

define_target_y2(dataset, variable, target_params)

Arguments

dataset

A dataframe with variables to be used in weighting.

variable

The variable for which you will be supplying population parameters.

target_params

A named vector containing target parameters you wish your data to be weighted to. If the variable has a "MISSING" level, you do not need to include it in the target_params, it will be calculated automatically (essentially set to weight those respondents as 1, the mean).

Value

A tibble with population parameters to the environment

Examples

municipal_data %>%
  define_target_y2(
    s_sex,
    c(
      '1' = .49,
      '2' = .5,
      '3' = .01
    )
  )
