Calculate OxCGRT sub-index score for a single indicator

Calculate OxCGRT sub-index scores for all indicators

calculate_subindex(indicator_code, value, flag_value)

calculate_subindices(
  df,
  indicator_code = "policy_type_code",
  value = "policyvalue_actual",
  flag_value = "flagged",
  add = TRUE
)

`indicator_code`	A character value specifying the name of the variable in `df` containing the policy type codes. By default, this is set to `policy_type_code` which is the variable name used by the OxCGRT API.
`value`	A character value specifying the name of the column in `df` containing the values in ordinal scale assigned to each policy type. By default, this is set to `policyvalue_actual` which is the variable name used by the OxCGRT API.
`flag_value`	A character value specifying the name of the column in `df` containing the flag values for each policy type. By default, this is set to `flagged` which is the variable name used by the OxCGRT API.
`df`	A data.frame containing per indicator values required for calculating sub-index scores. This data.frame will be structured similarly as the policy actions data.frame produced by a call to `get_data_actions()`.
`add`	Logical. Should sub-indices for each indicator be added to `df`? Default is TRUE.

A numeric value between 0 to 100.

If add is TRUE (default), returns a tibble composed of the input data.frame x with an added column named score for the calculated sub-indices. If add is FALSE, returns a tibble of 4 columns with the first column for the policy codes named policy_type_codes, the second column for the policy values named policy_value, the third column for the flag values named flag_value and the fourth column named score for the calculated sub-indices.
