make.calfun {survey} | R Documentation

## Calibration metrics

### Description

Create calibration metric for use in `calibrate`. The function `F` is the link function described in section 2 of Deville et al. To create a new calibration metric, specify F-1 and its derivative. The package provides `cal.linear`, `cal.raking`, and `cal.logit`.

### Usage

    make.calfun(Fm1, dF, name)

### Arguments

`Fm1` | Function F-1 taking a vector `u` and a vector of length 2, `bounds`.
`dF` | Derivative of `Fm1` wrt `u`: arguments `u` and `bounds`
`name` | Character string to use as name

### Value

An object of class `"calfun"`
