Overview

About

Maintained by John D. JohnsonFirst published 2020-03-258 releasesCRAN page ↗

Calculate common types of tables for weighted survey data. Options include topline and (2-way and 3-way) crosstab tables of categorical or ordinal data as well as summary tables of weighted numeric variables. Optionally, include the margin of error at selected confidence intervals including the design effect. The design effect is calculated as described by Kish (1965) doi:10.1002/bimj.19680100122 beginning on page 257. Output takes the form of tibbles (simple data frames). This package conveniently handles labelled data, such as that commonly used by 'Stata' and 'SPSS.' Complex survey design is not supported at this time.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("pollster", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pollster

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-pollster

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-pollster

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
