Hello all,

I have been experimenting with svymean() and I am confused on what the
output is. The data I have looks like:


*PSU*

*   STRATUM*

*    WEIGHTS*

*   COUNTS*

*1*

  1

    1

2.0

*2*

*3*

*8*

I have this code:

> q<-data.frame(PSU,STRATUM,WEIGHTS,COUNTS)
> View(q)
> dd<-svydesign(id=~PSU,strata=STRATUM, weights=~WEIGHTS, data=q,nest=TRUE)
> svymean(~COUNTS,dd)

               mean     SE
COUNTS 1.2222 0.1607

I thought that SE was the standard error. When I tried to calculate it by
hand I got something different. What is SE and how is it calculated? Thank
you in advance!
