This has 11 data values in each row but only 10 variable names.  If we assume 
the first number doesn't belong it, the fpc1 column lines up correctly, so I 
will do that.

It is surprising that Id_An is the same as Totanim for each of these five 
records.


- First strata = herds

herd's id column = num

sampled in 551 herds (column fpc1)



- Second strata = animals

animal id column= Id_An

sampled in Totanim



I tried :

clustot <- svydesign (id=~num+Id_An, fpc=~fpc1+~Totanim, data=tab1)

This should be
  clustot <- svydesign (id=~num+Id_An, fpc=~fpc1+Totanim, data=tab1)
but that doesn't explain the problem

Your svydesign() call looks correct if fpc1 is the total number of herds in the 
population and Totanim is the total number of animals in the particular herd. I 
am not sure from your explanation whether this is how the variables are defined.

and I get this error message



clustot <- svydesign(id=~num+Id_An, fpc=~fpc1+~Totanim, data=tab1)

Erreur dans as.fpc(fpc, strata, ids) :

 FPC implies >100% sampling in some strata.



I don't have any strata with 100% sampling so do you know which arguments of 
the fonction svydesign I'm supposed to use ?



Thanks in advance
