VB and R codes using Households databases available in the NSI's : A prelude to statistical applied studies

TL;DR

This paper introduces algorithms and code implementations in VB and R for extracting variables from household databases in national statistics, focusing initially on scaled income for statistical analysis.

Contribution

It provides practical algorithms and code for accessing and analyzing household data, facilitating statistical studies using national household databases.

Findings

Algorithms successfully tested in VB and R

Codes enable extraction of diverse variables

Focus on scaled income as a starting point

Abstract

We describe the main features of the households databases we can find in most of our National Statistics Institute. We provide algorithms aimed at extracting a diversity of variables on which different statistical procedures may be applied. Here, we particularly focus on the scaled income, as a beginning. Associated codes (MS Visual Basic and R codes) have been successfully tested and delivered in the text and in a separate file
