No, you can't (at the moment), though it shouldn't be too hard to extend.
I can't run your example, though. I get:
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'M' not found

Subject: Can you get the DEFT from svyratio?
To Dr. Lumley or anyone who may know the answer,
I am trying to obtain ratio estimates from Levy and Lemeshow's Sampling of
Populations 4th ed. page 281. The results in the book are from STATA. According
to the STATA output, the DEFT is 0.830749
I can recreate all of the results except for DEFT. For svytotal and svymean I
can use the option deff="replace" to obtain DEFT results (by taking the square
root), but I get an error when using this option with svyratio. The problem can
be my poor understanding of how to calculate DEFT, but perhaps it's not
implemented for svyratio?
R code to that fails:
library(survey)
# Creating the dataset
df_tbl_10_1 <-
data.frame(
center = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5),
nurse = c(rep(c(1,2,3),5)),
seen = c(58,44,18,42,63,10,13,18,37,16,32,10,25,23,23),
referred = c(5,6,6,3,19,2,12,6,30,5,14,4,17,9,14)
)
df_tbl_10_2 <- df_tbl_10_1[c(2,3,4,6,10,11),]
# Defining the cluster sampling design
svy_tbl_10_2 <-
svydesign(id=~center + nurse,
data=df_tbl_10_2,
fpc= ~M + Nbar)
# Ratio estimates
svyratio(~referred, ~seen, svy_tbl_10_2)
confint(svyratio(~referred, ~seen, svy_tbl_10_2), df=degf(svy_tbl_10_2))
# DEFF
deff(svyratio(~referred, ~seen, svy_tbl_10_2, deff=TRUE))
# DEFT (fails)
sqrt(deff(svyratio(~referred, ~seen, svy_tbl_10_2, deff="replace")))
Fail message:
Error in if (deff) deffs <- matrix(ncol = nd, nrow = nn) : argument is not
interpretable as logical
For other individuals, I have included code that will calculate DEFF and DEFT
for svytotal on page 280, This code doesn't fail.
svytotal(~referred, svy_tbl_10_2)
confint(svytotal(~referred, svy_tbl_10_2), df=degf(svy_tbl_10_2))
deff(svytotal(~referred, svy_tbl_10_2, deff=TRUE))
sqrt(deff(svytotal(~referred, svy_tbl_10_2, deff="replace")))
To recap: can you get the DEFT from svyratio?
Sincerely,
Chris Webb
