Hello,

I'm working with the basic CPS as provided by IPUMS.

I need to bootstrap the data to compute standard errors. As far as I understand, I can do it using bsample. I need to let bsample know that the CPS is a monthly survey. However, it's not clear to me if I need to do that by using the option strata() or cluster(). Any suggestion?

Also, I guess I need to use bsample with the option weights(). Does that mean that I do not need to use weights for my computations with the bootstrapped samples?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks!
