Print Method for adjELE Objects — print.adjELE • postlink

Provides a concise summary of the adjustment object created by adjELE, including linkage error assumptions, blocking structure, and weight estimation settings.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'adjELE'
print(x, digits = 3, ...)

Arguments

x: An object of class adjELE.
digits: Integer; the number of significant digits to use when printing numeric values. Defaults to 3.
...: Additional arguments passed to methods.

Value

Invisibly returns the input object x.

Details

This method inspects the internal structure of the adjustment object. It calculates summaries for mismatch rates and audit sizes (e.g., means/ranges) if they vary across blocks, providing a snapshot of the error assumption complexity. It safely handles cases where the reference data is missing or empty.

Examples

data(brfss, package = "postlink")

adj_object <- adjELE(linked.data = brfss,
                    m.rate = unique(brfss$m.rate),
                    blocks = imonth,
                    weight.matrix = "BLUE")
print(adj_object)
