Level estimate for a single panel wave, with its replicate variance

Estimates a statistic in ONE wave of a wave_bootstrap() or wave_jackknife() object, with the variance from that wave's replicates. Lets you report a level and a change from the same coordinated object.

Usage

level_estimate(
  wb,
  statistic,
  wave = NULL,
  level = 0.95,
  ci_type = c("normal", "t"),
  df = NULL
)

level_mean(wb, variable, wave = NULL, level = 0.95)

level_total(wb, variable, wave = NULL, level = 0.95)

Arguments

wb

a weightflow_wave_boot or weightflow_wave_jack.

statistic

a function function(w, data) returning one number.

wave

optional wave label (defaults to the first).

level

confidence level for the normal interval.

ci_type

"normal" (default, z) or "t" (Student t with df df).

df

degrees of freedom for the "t" interval; NULL uses the object's design df.

variable

name of a numeric variable in the wave's data.

Value

an object of class weightflow_level with estimate, se, V and the interval.
