Utility functions for indicators on social exclusion and poverty

Description

Test for class, print and take subsets of indicators on social exclusion and poverty.

Usage

is.indicator(x)

is.arpr(x)

is.qsr(x)

is.rmpg(x)

is.gini(x)

is.prop(x)

is.gpg(x)

## S3 method for class 'indicator'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'arpr'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'rmpg'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'indicator'
subset(x, years = NULL, strata = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'arpr'
subset(x, years = NULL, strata = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'rmpg'
subset(x, years = NULL, strata = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

for is.xyz, any object to be tested. The print and subset methods are called by the generic functions if an object of the respective class is supplied.

...

additional arguments to be passed to and from methods.

years

an optional numeric vector giving the years to be extracted.

strata

an optional vector giving the domains of the breakdown to be extracted.

Value

is.indicator returns TRUE if x inherits from class "indicator" and FALSE otherwise.

is.arpr returns TRUE if x inherits from class "arpr" and FALSE otherwise.

is.qsr returns TRUE if x inherits from class "qsr" and FALSE otherwise.

is.rmpg returns TRUE if x inherits from class "rmpg" and FALSE otherwise.

is.gini returns TRUE if x inherits from class "gini" and FALSE otherwise.

is.gini returns TRUE if x inherits from class "gini" and FALSE otherwise.

print.indicator, print.arpr and print.rmpg return x invisibly.

subset.indicator, subset.arpr and subset.rmpg return a subset of x of the same class.

Examples

data(eusilc)

# at-risk-of-poverty rate
a <- arpr("eqIncome", weights = "rb050",
    breakdown = "db040", data = eusilc)
print(a)
is.arpr(a)
is.indicator(a)
subset(a, strata = c("Lower Austria", "Vienna"))

# quintile share ratio
q <- qsr("eqIncome", weights = "rb050",
    breakdown = "db040", data = eusilc)
print(q)
is.qsr(q)
is.indicator(q)
subset(q, strata = c("Lower Austria", "Vienna"))

# relative median at-risk-of-poverty gap
r <- rmpg("eqIncome", weights = "rb050",
    breakdown = "db040", data = eusilc)
print(r)
is.rmpg(r)
is.indicator(r)
subset(r, strata = c("Lower Austria", "Vienna"))

# Gini coefficient
g <- gini("eqIncome", weights = "rb050",
    breakdown = "db040", data = eusilc)
print(g)
is.gini(g)
is.indicator(g)
subset(g, strata = c("Lower Austria", "Vienna"))
