    Dear DUG,

    I have updated the Windows installer 31 March 2024 (see  https://dorerfoundation.org/software)

    You can now compute replicate weights that take into account the Margin of Error for the adjusting target marginal tables.

    These new functions need…

    If you download the table using the API you will find numeric codes in the cells that are suppressed.  The codes are here.

    Meghan Donahue

    That's great to hear, I'm excited to use the new PUMAs in the 2022 5yr survey for the older data for a question I'm working on. I have a tangential question.

    In my work I've been using the tidycensus, survey, and srvyr packages in R and calling…

  • RE: Question of Using API: Variable Postfix

    Matthew Brault

    OK, this is a few weeks away from being finished and its in Dev mode and you need to input a field ( B19083_001E ) etc. to make it work, but it should work, I hope? For those who know or have a field name it might help give a quick overview. But for…
