survey_tools

This is a simple python package for survey research analysis containing convenient functions for weighted crosstabs, recoding, and weighting.

Install

You can install survey_tools with pip:

python -m pip install survey_tools

Assorted Python Functions for Survey Research

tabs - 1, 2, and 3 way tabs. Make them weighted or unweighted. Have them include NAs or not. Have them be counts or normalized by row, column, or cell.

tabs(data, 'var_name', display='column', wts='weight_var', dropna=False)

rake_weight - weight a survey to specified targets using the raking method.

rake_weight(data, df_of_proportions_to_weight_to)

recode (Similar to car::recode in R) - Select a variable and create a simple recoding string to easily recode variables.

recode(data, 'var_name', 'lo:5=1;6:10=2;11:hi=3;NaN=NaN')

get_names function - Use regex to easily select names in a given pandas.DataFrame

get_names(data, r'^[Yy]ear.+')

Future Add-ons

1. Add CI function
2. Stacking survey
3. Add other weighting functions like matching, propensity weighting, or multiple combinations of these and raking.
