# This file contains R function implementing the Horvitz-Thompson estimator

# described in the paper: Jan Kubacki (2000) Some Small Area Estimation Methods
# for Polish Labour Force Survey in One Region of Poland
# Statistics In Transition, 4, No 5, 769-778
# and bootstrap method partially described in
# Popi�ski, W. (2006): Development of the Polish Labour Force Survey,
# Statistics in Transition, Vol. 7, No. 5, 1009-1030 and
# Rao, J.N.K., Wu, C.F.J. (1988): Resampling Inference with Complex Survey Data,
# Journal of the American Statistical Association, 83, 231-241
# actualization date: 28.11.2017
#
# To Do list
# 1. verification whether target and weights data has numerical vector form
# does not contain missing values, and has the same length
# 2. verification whether auxiliary data has numeric value
# 3. assessment whether appropriate memory for compution is available
# 4. cosideration of more proper seed intial value

#
# Function for simple Horvitz-Thompson estimator together with
# simple bootstrap variance estimator based on theory presented in
# Rao, J.N.K., Wu, C.F.J. (1988): Resampling Inference with Complex Survey Data,
# Journal of the American Statistical Association, 83, 231-241
#
# Arguments:
# target - vector of target variable
# weight - vector of survey weights
# variance - logical switch decive whether variance calculations to be determined
# history - logical switch decive whether bootstrap history to be saved
# repli - number of bootstrap replications
# seed - random generator seed
#
# Values:
# estim - values of HT estimator
# precision - values of simple bootstrap estimator (if variance==TRUE)
# history - values of simple bootstrap estimator history (if variance==TRUE &&
history==TRUE)
