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

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
