Description:
Identifies reference periods (months, fortnights, and weeks) in Brazil's quarterly PNADC (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicilios Continua) survey data and computes calibrated weights for sub-quarterly analysis. The core algorithm uses IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica) 'Parada Tecnica' (technical break) rules combined with respondent birthdates to determine which temporal period each survey observation refers to. Period identification follows a nested hierarchy enforced by construction: fortnights require months, weeks require fortnights. Achieves approximately 97% monthly determination rate with the full series (2012-2025). Strict fortnight and week rates are approximately 9% and 3% respectively, as they cannot leverage cross-quarter panel aggregation. Experimental strategies (probabilistic assignment and UPA (Primary Sampling Unit) aggregation) further improve these determination rates. The package provides adaptive hierarchical weight calibration (4/2/1 cell levels for month/fortnight/week) with period-specific smoothing to produce survey weights calibrated to SIDRA (Sistema IBGE de Recuperacao Automatica) population totals. Also includes a SIDRA mensalization module that converts 86+ official rolling quarter series from the IBGE SIDRA API (Application Programming Interface) into exact monthly estimates, without requiring access to microdata.
