Hi R-users!!
   
  I have some trouble with the survey pakage and i would be very glad if you can give me an advice.
   
  I have a sample from a survey where household were interviewed. The sample has 4 criteria on which the stratification was based: REGION, SIZE OF HOUSEHOLD, SIZE OF LOCALITY, AGE OF HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. Since i don't have the whole information in each cell of the cross region*sizehh*sizeloc*age i can't use the postStratify function from Survey package. Is that correct? (I think so but i need a competent answer)
   
  The only additional info that i have is the size of a cell from a 2*2 crossing (eg: I know the population size for all the strata defined by region*sizehh, region*sizeloc, sizeloc*age........) so i have the behaviour of the population but in a 2 by 2 cross for each of these criteria.
   
  Now, i want to use this info but i don't know the proper way: 
   
  could i use the svydesign function as here 
   
  d<- svydesign (id=~1, data=tabel, strata = c(region*sizehh,region*sizeloc.....), nest=T)
   
  and then
   
  dd<- poststratify(d, data.frame (region*size, region*sizeloc, ....), population= data.frame(Nh region*sizehh, Nh region*sizeloc......)
   
   
  or raking would be better for this type of joint distribution while specifying  in the svydesign strata =~ region+sizehh+sizeloc+agehhh.
   
  Thank you!
  Bye!
