Re: [R] apply weight to a data frame
Hi Pls, keep conversation on list, you can get answer from others, more capable than myself in survey analysis. As I said I am not an expert in this task but you seem to seek some statistical help. For this maybe stackexchange can be more appropriate. If you want some help here, you should present some data (not necessarily real), some R code and what did you expect and did not get. I went through help for survey and plm but did not find any mention that those two packages are somehow related. In some survey functions you can use weight argument but I did not find any note that these functions could result in object suitable for plm Cheers Petr From: laura roncaglia [mailto:roncaglia.la...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2016 9:36 AM To: PIKAL Petr <petr.pi...@precheza.cz> Subject: Re: [R] apply weight to a data frame Thank you for your answer. The data frame contains social and economic variables (like sex, education level, age, income, wealth and so on); since the survey is conduct on a number of family smaller than the national one, I should use survey weights to make the survey's data more representative (the survey data could be influenced by the family choosen, using the survey weights the data should be adjusted). Now I am trying to get a weighted data frame using the survey package (to replicate weights) ; in this way I hope I will be able to use the plm package without problems. Do you think it could be right? 2016-09-16 9:21 GMT+02:00 PIKAL Petr <petr.pi...@precheza.cz<mailto:petr.pi...@precheza.cz>>: Hi I do not know much about plm but your request seems to me pretty cryptic, probably even for knowledgeable person.

You should probably explain what do you mean by data frame weighing to get relevant answer. But I may be completely out of understanding your problem.

[R] apply weight to a data frame
I am a beginner user of R. I am writing the master thesis using a data frame from a national survey. The data frame contains several variables, one of which contains the survey weights. I need to apply the survey weights to the data frame, in order to use the data frame with the plm package (I need to run a fixed effect analysis). I know that I could use packages different from plm, but I am more interested in weighting the data frame. Thank you in advance.
