I know it's been four months, but I'm just getting back to this topic in the past week. I successfully used your PUMS suggestion, and the results suggest that the Yost index of SES is fairly stable for large areas, as I expected. Calculating MOEs for…
Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to calculate margins of error on counts in R. So far I've had no luck. I'm hoping that there's an R package out there that will make this a bit easier, but I've not seen anything as yet.
At the moment…
Location quotients are used to quickly explain the concentration of something in a small area compared with the whole.
I'd like to use these statistics to compare the concentration of various immigrant groups in a metro with the country overall. The basic…
Hi Phong, I was wondering if you ever got any assistance with this, as I have the same question? I am having a difficult time finding some of the source variables from the detailed variables for subject tables and can't find documentation anywhere either…
They're estimates with ~10% margins of error.
Dear community,
I am looking for guidance on calculating a percent of a margin or error. My work involves analyzing potential population risk to flooding, where I geospatially overlay block groups with flood zones in ArcGIS. If, for example, a block group…
I am a relatively new user of PUMS data. I use the 2016 1 year estimate PUMS population data, subset it to a dataset include the individual data for a county within the age group of my interest (ffx). Then I need to calculate the population estimate of…
I am working on a project in which we wish to calculate population changes over time in different types of neighborhoods. We began by classifying each census tract in the U.S. as urban, suburban, or rural. We next needed to calculate the total population…
To possibly answer my own question and ask a new one: Could I use formula (9) to do this?
Calculating Measures of Error for the Product of Two Estimates
Since dividing x / y is the same as the product x * 1/y, could this work?
EDIT: trying this out.…
