add_indicator: Adding an indicator in QR_matrix objects

In AQLT/JDCruncheR: Interface between the JDemetra+ cruncher and R, and quality report generator

Adding an indicator in QR_matrix objects

Description

Function to add indicators in QR_matrix objects.

Usage

add_indicator(x, indicator, variable_name, ...)

Arguments

x	a QR_matrix or mQR_matrix object
indicator	a vector or a data.frame (cf. details).
variable_name	a string containing the name of the variables to add.
...	other parameters of the function merge.

Details

The function add_indicator() adds the chosen indicator to the values matrix of a quality report. Therefore, because said indicator isn't added in the modalities matrix, it cannot be used to calculate a score (except for weighting). Before using the added variable for score calculation, it will have to be coded with the function recode_indicator_num.

The new indicator can be a vector or a data.frame. In both cases, its format must allow for pairing:

• a vector's elements must be named and these names must match those of the quality report (variable "series");

• a data.frame must contain a "series" column that matches with the quality report's series.
