[R] getting strata/cluster level values with survey package?

[Jeff D. Hamann]

First, I appoligise for the rooky question, but...

I'm trying to obtain standard errors, confidence intervals, etc. from a
sample design and have been trouble getting the results for anything other
than the basic total or mean for the overall survey from the survey
package.

For example, using the following dataset,

strata,cluster,vol
A,1,18.58556192
A,1,12.55175443
A,1,21.65882438

where this is read into stand.data. When I use the following survey designs,

srv1 <- svydesign(ids=~1, strata=~strata, data=stand.data )

or,

srv1 <- svydesign(ids=~cluster, strata=~strata, data=stand.data )

with,

print( svytotal( ~vol, srv1 ) )

I only obtain the total,

> print( svytotal( ~vol, srv1 ) )
    total     SE
vol  2377 34.464

or worse,

print( svytotal( ~vol + strata, srv1 ) )
         total     SE
vol     2377.0 34.464
strataA   42.0  0.000
strataB   64.0  0.000
strataC   34.0  0.000

which reports the number of observations in each of the strata. I'm sure
this is a RTFM question, but I just need a start. The size of each "plot"
is 0.04 units (hectares) and I want to be able to quickly examine working
up each sample with and without clusters (this is going to be part of a
larger simulation study).

I'm trying to not use SAS for this and hate to admit defeat.

Thanks,
Jeff.
