Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the registration of [Survey.jl](https://github.com/xKDR/Survey.jl) for analysis of complex surveys.

You can get started by running `add Survey` in pkg mode.

Current feature highlights include:

- Support for arbitrary survey sampling designs, including simple random sampling, stratified, cluster, multistage cluster, multistage stratified and probability proportional to size sampling

- Summary statistics such as `mean`, `total`, `ratio`, and `quantile` estimated for whole sample

- Subpopulation/domain estimation for all summary statistics

- Variance estimation using Rao-Wu bootstrap. Single stage approximation of multistage sampling schemes.

- Statistical graphics including scatterplot, histograms and boxplots

The package is built on top of [DataFrames.jl](https://dataframes.juliadata.org/stable/), and supports a variety of features for data manipulation. Plots are generated using [AlgebraOfGraphics](https://github.com/MakieOrg/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl). The API is supportive of user-defined custom replicate methods.

The package is actively developed and maintained, and we invite [user contributions](https://github.com/xKDR/Survey.jl/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and feedback.
