A data set created by merging four smaller data sets. Three of those smaller data sets are data from three surveys (O1, O2, O3); the other is data from a "gold standard" survey (A1). All four smaller data sets consist of the same three variables (Q1, Q2, Q3): responses to the same three questions, asked by each survey from the same 10 respondents (ID), along the same 1-99 response scale.
A data set created by merging 1) data from a "gold standard" survey and 2) data from other surveys of the same universe. Data from the "gold standard" survey are assumed to be the survey universe's "actual" response; data from the other surveys have survey error which the functions in 'TSEind' can calculate. Data are organized by survey (columns) and survey question (rows), and their values are the aggregate, "topline" responses to the survey questions which can range from 1 to 99 (the scale used by each survey question).
A data set created by merging 1) "actual" data from a "gold standard" survey (A1, A2), and 2) data from another survey (Q1, Q2), including weights columns for that data (W1, W2). A1/Q1 and A2/Q2 are responses to the same two questions, asked to the same 10 respondents (ID), along the same 1-99 response scale.
