VB and R codes using Households databases available in the NSI's : A prelude to statistical applied studies

We describe the main features of the households databases we can find in most of our National Statistics Institute. We provide algorithms aimed at extracting a diversity of variables on which different statistical procedures may be applied. Here, we particularly focus on the scaled income, as a beginning. Associated codes (MS Visual Basic TM and R codes) have been successfully tested and delivered in the text and in a separate file.. 1 LERSTAD, Gaston Berger University, Saint-Louis, Sénégal (Gane Samb Lo, Modou Ngom). 2 Affiliated to LSTA, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France (Gane Samb LO) 3 Associated to African University of Sciences and Technology, AUST, Abuja, Nigeria (Gane Samb Lo) Corresponding author.
