Designing surveys require relevant datasets to be used as basis for sample size calculations, sampling design, survey planning/logistics and survey implementation. These include datasets on population, lists of sampling clusters, map datasets for spatial sampling, and previous survey datasets that can be used for estimating indicator variance and design effects. This package contains relevant datasets for use in designing surveys in Mali
Installation
mali is not yet released on CRAN.
You can install the development version of mali from GitHub with:
if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
install_github("validmeasures/mali")Usage
Accessing Mali map data
The following packages will be required when accessing and manipulating map data available from the mali package.
require(rgdal)
require(rgeos)
require(raster)Country borders
