| Mar 14, 2012 at 11:22 | comment | added | Peter Ellis | I'm not sure I understand (even though I've skimmed the original question), but I'm interested. This is the bread and butter of official statistics - using surveys to report on population totals for unemployment, profitability, tourism average spend, whatever - unless I've misunderstood things. What is missing from all the standard approaches to 'weighting-to-population' through stratification, post-stratification weighting, etc.? Basically, I don't understand your weighting problem - a few words of clarification might help. | |

Thank you. I will edit the question so that it mentions raking, and also to clarify. You are right about the general idea. However, I asked specifically about multilevel raking/fitting/... algorithms and methods; the single level case has been chewed through already. -- I'll take a look at the survey package.

| Mar 14, 2012 at 0:02 | comment | added | RWFarley | I have a similar problem. If you use the statistical software R, you need the Survey package. It seems that to Statisticians, the term Rake is used for IPF. There is a rake function in the Survey package. This will result in non-integer weights for each record. I presume this can feed your population synthesiser? | |
