I've tried stl decomposition but I made a mistake I want to make a "calibration on a sample", in french we called it "Redressement d'un échantillon"
Thank u
Are you referring to the sort of thing decsribed, for example, in
http://statbel.fgov.be/studies/cal2002d.pdf
and
http://statbel.fgov.be/studies/cal_en.asp
?
If so, then you may find useful things in Thomas Lumley's "survey" package, though I'm not expert enough to judge how extensively it covers this area.
Not very extensively. The procedure described on those websites is a extension and generalisation of what I would call raking to create poststratification weights. The survey package will do raking by iterative proportional fitting, which means using a main-effects loglinear model instead of the more general formulation.
If you just want to get good poststratification weights you could try rake() and postStratify() in the survey package, but if you actually want to generalised calibration you are out of luck.
