map_2_patt_39: Values to patterns

In convergEU: Monitoring Convergence of EU Countries

Values to patterns

Description

Gradients values and Delta2 are mapped to one pattern (string and number). See Eurofound 2018 report.

In the mapping table within this function +1 means greater than zero, 0 means equal to zero, -1 means smaller than 0. For column EU_vs_MS, if graEU > graMS then EU_vs_MS = +1; if graEU < graMS then EU_vs_MS = -1; if graEU == graMS then EU_vs_MS = 0. Code NA is left to indicate not relevant features. Further codes are added here from 13 to 18 for parallelism; codes 19 and 20 are for crossed lines joining the EU pair and the MS pair. Code 21 stands for "to be visually inspected".

Usage

map_2_patt_39(vaMS, vaEU, vaT, remap = FALSE)

Arguments

vaMS	member state values sorted in ascending order by time.
vaEU	EU values sorted in ascending order by time.
vaT	sorted pair of times.
remap	is FALSE for the original numerical labelling of patterns otherwise TRUE to map to old numerical correspondence.

Value

a number referring to pattern whose label depends on the indicator type as originally produced in the technical report.
