4.4-2 Invalid read in C++ code, found by Brian Ripley, fixed by Ben Schneider
Updated small-area vignette (Peter Gao)
4.4-1 CRAN
4.4 Fixes to calibration for PPS sampling
A PPS variance matrix can now be specified as phase two of a two-phase design.
This includes poisson_sampling() as a model for non-response (for Pam Shaw, Jasper Yang)
svysmoothUnit() and svysmoothArea() as an interface to the SUMMER package for small-area
estimation (Peter Gao, Jon Wakefield, Richard Li)
4.3 Added Ben Schneider's C++ code for multistage variances. It is currently controlled
by options(survey.use_rcpp), which defaults to TRUE
error in scaling Pearson residuals for svyrepglm led to confint.svrepglm with
likelihood profiling not finding the ends of the interval (Stephanie Zimmer)
svyolr with rank deficiency and subsetting of cases in raked designs was overwriting
the 'keep' variable (Justin Wishart)
print.svyciprop() was printing fewer digits for the upper CI limit than the
lower limit.
C++ code issues fixed
degrees of freedom for score F-test in loglinear models fixed (Thomas Loughin)

(Justin Wishart)
null_has_intercept was being ignored for AIC in linear regression
svycontrast() now works with the output of svyvar(),
eg to compute correlations from covariances
4.2 Handling of influence functions has CHANGED. A function that supplies influence
functions must supply one for every observation it was given in its input:
use 0 for observations removed by subsetting. (for Guilherme Jacob)
regTermTest(method="LRT") required the two models to use the same observations
(of course), but didn't check, so IT WAS WRONG.
It now subsets properly. (for Keiran Shao)
This will probably be the *last* interpreted-R-only version of survey. Future
versions will likely incorporate C++ code for faster variance computation and
for small-area estimation.
deffs in svyglm.svyrep.design (Ben Schneider)
svynls() allows for prior (eg precision) weights (for Gary Nelson)
improved names in svyquantile.svyrep.design (Ben Schneider)
trimWeights() could get into an infinite recursion (Ingmar Sturm)
data(myco) from Rao, Scott, and Skinner (originally from Clayton & Hills)
as.svrepdesign now throws an error with post-stratified/raked/calibrated
designs -- create replicates *first*, then calibrate (for Lauren Kennedy)
trimWeights now works with replicate-weights designs
score tests for svyglm (with Keiran Shao)
svyby(), and thus svyboxplot(), didn't handle the new quantile functions
correctly when standard error/ci weren't requested (Stephanie Zimmer, Raymond Pan)
svycontrast() threw an error on the output of svyby() with return.replicates=TRUE
(Alena Stern)
Fix regTermTest for svycoxph for the methods lookup changes in R 4.0
(and consequential change to marginpred)
We don't provide model.matrix.svycoxph any more;use the inherited
survival:::model.matrix.coxph
Recent survival::coxph() switches to robust variances with non-integer weights
so check for model$naive.var before model$var
Disable the pass-through from predict.svycoxph to predict.coxph for type="expected"
(Bryan Shepherd)
svyby( svyvar) would throw an error on domains with only one observation
(for Dirk Schumacher)

Additional chisquared test for tables with zeros (CrossValidated question #571328)
svydesign() has a 'calibrate.formula' option to tell R that your weights have
already been calibrated/raked/post-stratified (for Tobias Schoch)
svycontrast() didn't work on svrepglm objects without replicates (Thomas Loughlin)
error in svycoxph with rescale=FALSE (Jing Zhang)
error in vcov.svyrep.design with mse=TRUE (shows up in svyVGAM)
svyquantile() didn't pay attention to interval_type for replicate weights (David Jorquera Petersen)
svyquantile() qrules 5 to 9 now return the single data value when there's
just one (David Jorquera Petersen)
regTermTest() on svyolr() objects created in a function now finds the
design object more reliably. (for Pedro Baldoni)
regTermTest() will now test against null models in svycoxph()
Fixes to svyquantile: https://github.com/bschneidr/r-forge-survey-mirror/pull/7
(Ben Schneider)

(Stephanie Zimmer)
rename svykm.fit to svykm_fit because CRAN tests

(for StackOverflow 60930323)
confint.svyglm Wald-type intervals now correctly label the columns (eg 2.5%, 97.5%)
(for Molly Petersen)
svyolr() using linearisation had the wrong standard errors for intercepts
other than the first, if extracted using vcov (it was correct in summary() output)
svyglm() gave deffs that were too large by a factor of nrow(design). (Adrianne Bradford)
svycoxph() now warns if you try to use frailty or other penalised terms, because they
just come from calling coxph and I have no reason to believe they work correctly
in complex samples (for Claudia Rivera)
coef.svyglm() now has a complete= argument to match coef.default(). (for Thomas Leeper)
summary.svyglm() now gives NA p-values and a warning, rather than Inf standard errors,
when the residual df are zero or negative (for Dan Simpson and Lauren Kennedy)
In the multigroup case, svyranktest() now documents which elements of the 'htest'
object have which parts of the result, because it's a bit weird (for Justin Allen)
svycontrast() gets a new argument add=TRUE to keep the old coefficients as well
twophase() can now take strata= arguments that are character, not just factor
or numeric. (for Pam Shaw)
add reference to Chen & Lumley on tail probabilities for quadratic forms.
add reference to Breslow et al for calibrate()
add svyqqplot and svyqqmath for quantile-quantile plots
SE.svyby would grab confidence interval limits instead of SEs if vartype=c("ci","se").
svylogrank(method="small") was wrong (though method="score" and method="large" are ok),
because of problems in obtaining the at-risk matrix from coxph.detail. (for Zhiwen Yao)
added as.svrepdesign.svyimputationList and withReplicates.svyimputationList
(for Ángel Rodríguez Laso)
logLik.svyglm used to return the deviance and now divides it by -2
svybys() to make multiple tables by separate variables rather than a joint table
(for Hannah Evans)

multiple quantiles (Ben Schneider)
regTermTest(,method="LRT") didn't work if the survey design object and model were
defined in a function (for Keiran Shao)
svyglm() has clearer error message when the subset= argument contains NAs (for Pam Shaw)
and when the weights contain NAs (for Paige Johnson)
regTermTest was dropping the first term for coxph() models (Adam Elder)
(this was in R>=4.0)
svydesign() is much faster for very large datasets with character ids or strata.
svyglm() now works with na.action=na.exclude (for Terry Therneau)
extractAIC.svylm does the design-based AIC for the two-parameter Gaussian model, so
estimating the variance parameter as well as the regression parameters.
(for Benmei Liu and Barry Graubard)
svydesign(, pps=poisson_sampling()) for Poisson sampling, and ppscov() for
specifying PPS design with weighted or unweighted covariance of sampling indicators
(for Claudia Rivera Rodriguez)
4.0 Some (and eventually nearly all) functions now return influence functions when
called with a survey.design2 object and the influence=TRUE option. These allow
svyby() to estimate covariances between domains, which could previously only be
done for replicate-weight designs, and so allow svycontrast() to do domain contrasts
- svymean, svytotal, svyratio, svymle, svyglm, svykappa
Nonlinear least squares with svynls() now available
Document that predict.svyglm() doesn't use a rescaled residual mean square
to estimate standard errors, and so disagrees with some textbooks. (for Trent Buskirk)
3.38 When given a statistic including replicates, svycontrast() now transforms the replicates
and calculates the variance, rather than calculating the variance then using the
delta method. Allows geometric means to exactly match SAS/SUDAAN (for Robert Baskin)
vcov.svyrep.design to simplify computing variances from replicates (for William Pelham)
svykm() no longer throws an error with single-observation domains (for Guy Cafri)
Documentation for svyglm() specifies that it has always returned
model-robust standard errors. (for various people wanting to fit relative risk
regression models).
3.37 RODBC database connections are no longer supported.
Use the DBI-compatible 'odbc' package
set scale<-1 if it is still NULL after processing, inside svrepdesign()
[https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/409463]
Added withPV for replicate-weight designs [for Tomasz Żółtak]
svyquantile for replicate-weight designs now uses a supplied alpha to get
confidence intervals and estimates SE by dividing confidence interval length
by twice abs(qnorm(alpha/2)). [For Klaus Ignacio Lehmann Melendez]
All the svyquantile methods now take account of design degrees of freedom and
use t distributions for confidence intervals. Specify df=Inf to get a Normal.
[For Klaus Ignacio Lehmann Melendez]
svyivreg() for 2-stage least-squares (requires the AER package)
warn when rho= is used with type="BRR" in svrepdesign [for Tomasz Żółtak]

(no change to results, but gets rid of warning)
allow svyby() to have a vector as the first argument
force character vectors to factor in id= argument of svydesign (fixes Stack Overflow 54239063)
3.35-2 The previous (3.34) patch to allow offsets in svymle() didn't work with non-trivial linear predictors
for multiple parameters. (reported by Beat Hulliger)
3.35-1 svytable() could give an integer overflow with a replicate-weight design having integer weights,
such as CHIS. (Elizabeth Purdom)
empty factor levels in the strata= argument to svydesign() no longer create strata
The twophase() function gave errors when the first phase of sampling had multiple
stages (reported by Pedro Luis Baldoni)
3.35 The use of RODBC is DEPRECATED. If possible, I want to move to just supporting the R-DBI
interface; you can use ODBC connections with the DBI-compatible 'odbc' package
Some instances of deparse() needed to be paste(deparse(), collapse=""), notably in svyciprop() (Boris Fazio)
Fix to svycontrast had broken the no-names case (Brian Miner)
More helpful error message with missing values in replicate weights (Antony Damico)
svyglm() now uses match.call() rather than sys.call() for storing the call (for Michael Laviolette)
svystandardize() now takes over=~1 for the whole population (for Michael Laviolette)
svycralpha() does Cronbach's alpha (for Franziska Kößler)
many tests based on the printed output are moved to tests/testoutput because they
differ trivially between platforms and so aren't CRAN-compliant.
3.34 removed duplicate definition of svycontrast.svystat
fix match.names() for the case of all the same names in different order (Sebastien Lucie)
make rescaling of weights optional in svyglm and svycoxph (Greg Ridgeway)
USER VISIBLE CHANGE: default rescaling of weights in svyglm and svycoxph with replicate
weights is now mean=1, as it always was with svydesign objects, rather than sum=1.
This does not affect estimates or tests or comparisons, but the AIC and its effective
degrees of freedom will look more plausible, as will the deviance.
Fix handling of missing data for calibrated designs in svyranktest (for Brad Biggerstaff)
handle empty subsets in onestage, because svyby(). (for Greg Freedman)
allow offset() in svymle() (Patrick Brown)

move check for missing repweights later in the function to pick up more cases (Anthony Damico)
fix printing of predicted values from predict.svrepglm (for Anthony Damico)

partial fix in start= argument for svyglm() [still doesn't work inside function]
3.33-1 two minor bug fixes for ABS contributions to calibrate()

calibrate() now displays differences between sample and population names (for Stas Kolenikov)
cal_names() displays what the auxiliary variable names will be for a formula
regTermTest() now does Rao-Scott-type Wald tests, which I think are the same as SUDAAN's
"Satterthwaite Adjusted Wald Tests" (but I don't have an example to verify).
3.32-2 Actually add the hyperbolic sine distance function
Add AIC method for svycoxph
3.32-1 pseudo-rsquared paper is out: update reference
Add cal.sinh for the hyperbolic sine distance function (used in CALMAR2) with code from Maciej Beręsewicz

- Heteroscedasticity parameters
- more flexible boundary constraints

3.31-7 Add deff="replace" as an option for svyratio (for Chris Webb)
Add psrsq() for pseudo-R^2 statistics (for Ward Kinkade)
3.31-6 Make database-backed svydesign work with *no* design variables (for Anthony Damico and Guilherme Jacob)
3.31-5 predict.svyglm() uses object$xlevels and object$contrasts and so should be able to
guess the right factor levels when they aren't supplied in newdata= (for @thosjleeper)
fix return() without parentheses in svykm.R
3.31-4 svyciprop(,method="like") and confint.svyglm(method="like") work even when the
design effect is large.
3.31-3 svyciprop has method="xlogit" that reproduces what SUDAAN and SPSS give. (for Rex Dwyer)
Added reference for svylogrank
Added example from YRBS for software comparison
Copied some names from NEWS into THANKS
3.31-2 explicitly dropping dimensions on a 1x1 matrix
3.31-1 Allow for incompatible change in output of CompQuadForm::farebrother()

3.30-4 svypredmeans() does the same things (together with svycontrast()) as
as PREDMARG in SUDAAN (for Thomas Yokota and Anthony Damico)
3.30-4 confint.svystat was handling denominator degrees of freedom wrongly
for the Wald method (Jared Smith)
3.30-3 vcov.svrepstat does more sensible things when covariances aren't
estimated (eg for quantiles). This fixes issues with svyby
dropped support for old version of hexbin
3.30-1 Fix example(svyplot) now that "hexbin" package no longer loads
grid package
3.30 svyranktest() now allows k-sample tests (eg Kruskal-Wallis)
svylogrank() does the generalised G-rho-gamma logrank tests
[methods from Rader and Lipsitz (and probably al)]

to improve numerical stability
subset.svyimputationList now allows the subsets to end up with
different observations in them (for Anthony Damico)
subset.svyDBimputationList now gives an error if the subsets
have different observations, not just a warning that people
ignored.
svydesign gives an error if there is only one PSU, to catch
omission of tilde in svydesign(id=~1,...) (Milan Bouchet-Valat)
3.29-2 confint.svyglm(method="Wald") wasn't using its ddf= argument,

postStratify() now works when some input weights are zero
3.28-2 calibrate() prints out sample and population totals when the lengths disagree
calibrate() is more stable when the initial weights are wrong by orders of
magnitude (for Kirill Mueller)

(for various people including Kirill Mueller)
3.28-1 SE now works with output of predict.svyglm (Kieran Healy)
make.panel.svysmooth() sometimes had invalid bandwidth choices.
as.svrepdesign() now allows for fpc information not present in
the design object (Alistair Gray)
regTermTest(,method="LRT") works for svyolr(), and

svrepdesign() checks the length of the rscales= argument (Ward Kinkade).
Document the problem with in-line data-dependent variable construction
in svyby() (Anthony Damico)
Check for completely-missing groups in svyby

3.27 added anova.svyglm() for Wald tests and Rao-Scott LRT.
anova(model1, model2) works for nested models even if not symbolically nested.
formula component of svyglm$call is now always named, so update() will work.
svyboxplot(,all.outliers=TRUE) didn't work for single boxes (Takahiro Tsuchiya)
3.26-1 Better missing-value handling with replicated weights in svyquantile
svyboxplot() has all.outliers= argument to plot all outliers
3.26 Added Preston's multistage rescaled bootstrap (for Alois Haslinger)
The multistage bootstrap can use the multicore package if available.
calibrate() can take a vector of tolerances (for Alois Haslinger)
[this actually used to work by accident, but now it's documented]
Clearer error messages when post-strata contain NAs.

Clearer documentation about graphing discrete variables.
3.25 svyhist() didn't work for two-phase designs.
added svylogrank() for logrank test for survival data.
added svyranktest() for two-sample rank tests.
svrepdesign() and as.svrepdesign() now have mse= argument to request
replicate-weight variances centered around the point estimate rather
than the mean of the replicates. The default is controlled by
options(survey.replicates.mse), which defaults to FALSE, consistent with
previous versions. (For Anthony Damico, among others)
3.24-1 CHANGE: svychisq() statistic="lincom" and "saddlepoint" now use the linear combination
of F statistics from pFsum().
3.24 Rao-Scott test based on linear combinations of Fs is now also available in regTermTest
Algorithms from CompQuadForm (AS155 and AS204) now used for method="integration"
in pFsum and pchisqsum. These are more accurate and faster than the previous
implementations. If you use CRAN binary packages you will need at least R 2.12.
pFsum() saddlepoint and Satterthwaite methods are also much faster. The
saddlepoint approximation now works for the whole range, not just the right tail.
3.23-3 Some vignettes didn't load the package (Brian Ripley)
Added pFsum() for linear combination of F distributions with same denominator.
better example (quantile regression) in withReplicates().
3.23-2 svyhist() didn't handle include.lowest= correctly. (Chris Wild)
svyby(, return.replicates=TRUE) now returns the replicates in the same
order as the printed output, and labelled. (for Bob Fay)
3.23-1 svycdf() wasn't handling replicate weights correctly.
Change in svyquantile() for replicate weights when using type="quantile".
Point estimate used to be mean of replicates, now is ordinary weighted quantile.
(for Bob Fay)
Small changes in handling of zero weights in svyquantile().
3.23 two-sample svyttest() didn't work with replicate weights. (Richard Valliant)
3.22-4 postStratify now allows 1-d matrix as well as vector in data frame
of population counts. (for Jean Opsomer)
print.summary.pps wasn't being exported (Gonzalo Perez)
svyhist() ignored right= argument
predict.svycoxph() was slightly overestimating standard errors for survival curves.
[.pps and [.twophase2 crashed when no observations were removed (Gonzalo Perez)
3.22-3 bug in trimWeights (Richard Valliant), also add warning for
attempts to trim past the mean weight.
3.22-2 bug in the na.rm.by= argument to svyby() (Trevor Thompson)
regTermTest() now does F tests by default (for Chris Wild)
3.22-1 added df= argument to confint() methods for svystat,
svyrepstat, svyby, svyratio (for Richard Valliant)
added na.rm.by= argument to svyby(), to drop groups defined by
missing values of by= variables.
confint.svyby() uses SE(), not vcov(), so undefined values in replicates
are handled on a per-group basis.
svysmooth(,method="locpoly") now has automatic bandwidth choice, and
make.panel.svysmooth() will use this choice by default.
3.22 added stratsample() to take stratified samples.
fixed bug in design effects for subsets of calibrated or
database-based surveys
changed scaling in biplot.svyprcomp so area is proportional to
weight, rather than height proportional to weight.
3.21-3 svyratio() can now estimate design effects (for Scott Kostyshak)
3.21-2 Rao & Wu bootstrap wasn't sampling n-1 PSUs (Richard Valliant)
3.21-1 bug in printing variances for three or more variables (Corey Sparks)
svyquantile() reliably returns NA for NAs in data when na.rm=FALSE.
svymle() was not using analytical gradients with nlm() (Christian Raschke)
3.21 added trimWeights() to trim weights, and trim= option to calibrate
(for Richard Valliant)
clearer documentation that svyquantile() needs ci=TRUE or keep.var=FALSE
to work with svyby()
added a simple random sample to data(api) as promised in book (Djalma Pessoa)
3.20 in svycoxph() modify the rescaling of weights to avoid very small weights
because of convergence problem in coxph() with counting-process data (for Tapan Mehta)
added some multivariate statistics:
svyprcomp(): principal components, svyfactanal(): factor analysis.
added heuristic check that combined.weights= has been specified correctly.
confint.default wouldn't give CIs for multiple parameters with replicate weights, because
the vcov matrix didn't have variable names. (Art Burke)
More of the svyciprop() methods now work for replicate-weight designs.
The book of the package is now available! (see http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/svybook)
3.19 svrepdesign() can specify replicate-weight columns with a regular expression
svrepdesign() can produce database-backed designs
svyquantile() has a df argument to use a t distribution in
Woodruff's method (for Wade Davis)

better printing of svyvar() output (for Brad Fulton)
twophase() documents more clearly that method="simple" is preferred for standard epi
designs where it works.
better error messages when a database-backed design has a closed connection
3.18-1 documented the need to use quasibinomial/quasipoisson in svyglm
improved the description of confidence intervals and standard errors for
svyquantile.
3.18 Changed the default to combined.weights=TRUE in svrepdesign()
Fixed bug in multiple imputation analysis with multicore package.
The check for PSUs properly nested in strata had some false negatives.
3.17 Under Linux, Mac OS, and most Unix systems, multiple processors can be
used for the subgroups in svyby(), the imputed data sets in with.svyimputationList
and with.DBsvyimputationList, and the replicate weights in svyglm.svyrep.design
and svyolr.svyrep.design. This requires the 'multicore' package and the
argument multicore=TRUE to the functions (in the absence of the multicore
package, the multicore=TRUE option is just ignored).
svyvar.svyrep.design handled NA values incorrectly (Arthur Burke)

design (Lucia Hindorff)
Added tests/kalton.R with reweighting examples.
make.calfun() for creating user-specified calibration distances.

3.6-9 Bootstrap weights used last stratum size rather than harmonic mean
for n/(n-1) factor (Djalma Pessoa)
method= argument to svycoxph() didn't work (Lisa McShane)

[.repweights_compressed does less copying and is a lot faster
for large designs
Added verbose= option to svyby() to monitor slow computations.
Added vartype="cv","cvpct" options for svyby().
Two-phase designs gave incorrect variances in some cases [they
were correct if the first stage was infinite superpopulation
sampling or if all phase 1 ultimate sampling units were
represented in phase 2]. These are fixed but twophase() now
limits the first phase to single-stage cluster or element
sampling. [detailed bug report from Takahiro Tsuchiya]

3.2 Add option to calibrate() to make weights constant within clusters.
Add bounded regression calibration to calibrate()
3.1-1 Rescale svyvar output by n/(n-1) to match Kish, which makes a small
difference to design effect computations. (for Takahiro Tsuchiya)
Test for presence of intercept in calibrate() was too fussy.
3.1 Quantiles for replicate-weight designs now by default compute confidence
intervals on the probability scale and transform, so they are valid for
jackknife designs. (as Gillian Raab suggested long ago)
Analyses on replicate weights should use eg svymean, which has
methods for replicate weight designs; the old (eg svrepmean) variants
are now deprecated.
calibrate() can now use regression models with variance proportional
to linear combination of predictors (and so can duplicate ratio
estimators of means and totals)
Prettier labelling of objects created by postStratify(), calibrate(),
update(), subset()
svytotal on replicate weight designs was computing means, not totals
(probably since 3.0).
3.0-1 Allow some strata to have an infinite population (zero sampling fraction)
(this doesn't happen in reality but is the recommended analysis for
handling certainty PSUs in some large NCHS studies).
Let svyby() handle vectors that are not in the design object (even
though they are discouraged)
calibrate() was working only under stratified/simple random sampling.
Allow user-supplied Hadamard matrix for brrweights.
as.svrepdesign gave a spurious warning when converting post-2.9-1
objects without finite population corrections to BRR.
Allow multicolumn response variable in svymle() (for survival data)
Add nlm() as the default optimization method for svymle().
3.0 Added simple GREG (G-calibration) estimators with calibrate()

for bug introduced by multistage revision. (Takahiro Tsuchiya)
2.9-1 Fixed typo in description of fpc in svydesign.Rd
Added inst/twostage.pdf with examples of two-stage analyses.
Handling of fpc specified as proportion in the absence of weights
was wrong.
2.9 Added full multistage sampling, involving a redesign of the survey.design
object. The old objects are deprecated; they may be converted with
as.svydesign2. Use options(survey.ultimate.cluster=TRUE) to get
the same one-stage standard errors as earlier versions and
options(survey.want.obsolete=TRUE) to turn off the annoying warnings
about old-style survey objects. If you must create old-style survey
objects use oldsvydesign().
As a consequence of the redesign, most of the svyxxx functions
are now generic, with methods for both svydesign and svrepdesign
objects. Use svymean instead of svrepmean, for example.
Added more Hadamard matrices, including the Paley construction.
brrweights() now finds designs of nearly optimal size for most surveys.
Faster svymean, svytotal for replicates, with less memory use.

Added a PDF file with examples from UCLA ATS web site, including
comparisons with WesVar and SUDAAN. (inst/ucla-examples.pdf)
Added slides from a talk at Vanderbilt University.
(inst/survey-vanderbilt.pdf)
Fixed Deff to use simple random sampling without replacement.
Much faster confidence intervals for quantiles based on inverting a
Wald test are now default. These are less accurate in small
samples; the old method is still available.
(based on suggestion from Gillian Raab)
2.8-4 Added a whole lot more references to the documentation.
data(hospital) now has two sets of weights, one matching the
UCLA ATS site and one matching the original reference.

postStratify for svydesign surveys.
2.7-1 as.svrepdesign was giving the wrong weights for type="Fay" in 2.7

function compressWeights() to do this to arbitrary replicate designs.
terms() reorders variables in interactions, which confused regTermTest
(Daniel Almirall)
Added extractor function SE() for standard errors (Andrew Robinson)
hadamard() now finds smaller Hadamard matrices.
svyCprod warns if a subset has only one PSU in some stratum
(Gillian Raab)
Added tests/lonely.psu.R
Added another option "average" for lonely.psu (Gillian Raab)
svydesign can now detect from sampling weights or fpc when a stratum
with a single PSU is self-representing, and in these cases
options("survey.lonely.psu") is not used.
ftable.svystat and ftable.svrepstat to produce better tables of
percentages and totals.
Experimental set of functions to help in computing non-response weights
(see ?nonresponse for details)
2.6-2 Better handling of NAs in svyby
Subsetting didn't work right for single-observation subsets.
svyglm and svycoxph had scoping problems when run inside a
function (Daniel Almirall)

the sampling weights)
With R 2.0.0 less copying will occur, especially when variables=
is not specified in a design

2.2 published in Journal of Statistical Software
- If population size is specified, but not weights or probabilities,
work out the probabilities from the population size
- Clearer error message when some design information is NA
(for Tobias Verbeke)
- better update() methods

individuals
- added Cox models
0.9-4 - svyCprod was computing n/(n-1) using number of observations,
not number of PSUs, and was averaging observations rather than
PSU means to compute stratum means.
- Bug in handling multiple levels of cluster id in svydesign
0.9-3: Finite population correction.
Adjustments for stratum with single PSU (Fred Rohde)
Fixed svydesign(nest=TRUE) to work with strata
