ms_dynam: Member state dynamics

In convergEU: Monitoring Convergence of EU Countries

Member state dynamics

Description

A ggplot object time by countries where coloured rectangles show the departure from the mean after partitioning into intervals (-Inf, m-1 s, m-0.5 s, m+0.5 s, m+1 s, Inf). Note that the following convention is adopted where the colour of labels changes depending on the type of indicator, i.e. "lowBest" or "highBest":

Usage

ms_dynam(
  myTB,
  timeName = "time",
  displace = 0.25,
  displaceh = 0.45,
  dimeFontNum = 5,
  myfont_scale = 1.35,
  x_angle = 45,
  axis_name_y = "Countries",
  axis_name_x = "Time",
  alpha_color = 0.9,
  indiType = "highBest"
)

Arguments

myTB	dataset time by countries.
timeName	a string, name of the time variable.
displace	rectangle half height.
displaceh	rectangle half base.
dimeFontNum	size of font.
myfont_scale	axes magnification.
x_angle	angle of x axis labels.
axis_name_y	name of y axis.
axis_name_x	name of x axis.
alpha_color	transparency.
indiType	is a string: "highBest" or "lowBest" to define the type of indicator.

Details

* (-Inf, m -1 s] is labelled as -1; it is coloured in dark green for "lowBest" type of indicator and in red for "highBest" type of indicator; * (m -1 s, m -0.5 s] is labelled as -0.5; it is coloured in pale green for "lowBest" type of indicator and in yellow (ocra) for "highBest" type of indicator; * (m -0.5 s,m +0.5 s ] is labelled as 0; it is coloured in pale yellow for both "lowBest" and "highBest types of indicators; * (m +0.5 s, m +1 s] is labelled as 0.5; it is coloured in yellow (ocra) for "lowBest" type of indicator and in pale green for "highBest" type of indicator; * (m +1 s, Inf] is labelled as 1; it is coloured in red for "lowBest" type of indicator and in dark green for "highBest" type of indicator.

Value

a ggplot object to be displayed or saved using ggsave.

# Example 1: "lowBest" type of indicator:
# Dataset in the format time by countries:

    )

# Calculate scoreboards for countries:
