plot.benchmark_fitsae function

Plot Method for benchmark_fitsae Object

The method plot() provides the boxplots of original and benchmarked estimates in comparison with the benchmark value. Note that share weights are not considered.

## S3 method for class 'benchmark_fitsae'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

• x: A benchmark_fitsae object.
• ...: Currently unused.

Returns

A ggplot2 object.

Examples

library(tipsae)

# loading toy dataset
data("emilia_cs")

# fitting a model
fit_beta <- fit_sae(formula_fixed = hcr ~ x, data = emilia_cs, domains = "id",
                    type_disp = "var", disp_direct = "vars", domain_size = "n",
                    # MCMC setting to obtain a fast example. Remove next line for reliable results.
                    chains = 1, iter = 150, seed = 0)

# check model diagnostics
summ_beta <- summary(fit_beta)

# creating a subset of the areas whose estimates have to be benchmarked
subset <- c("RIMINI", "RICCIONE", "RUBICONE", "CESENA - VALLE DEL SAVIO")

# creating population shares of the subset areas
pop <- emilia_cs$pop[emilia_cs$id %in% subset]
shares_subset <- pop / sum(pop)

# perform benchmarking procedure
bmk_subset <- benchmark(x = summ_beta,
                        bench = 0.13,
                        share = shares_subset,
                        method = "raking",
                        areas = subset)
plot(bmk_subset)
