The svyquantile function will give you the median, e.g. svyquantile(~b, design, 0.5, interval.type="score") Since a proportion is just the mean of a 0/1 variable, you can use svymean for that, e.g. svymean(~b1, design) HTH, James -- James Reilly Department of Statistics, University of Auckland Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
