miuc: Mean income per unit of consumption

In AngelBerihuete/laeken2: Calculate the TIPs and Lorenz curves

Description

Estimates the mean income per unit of consumption which is the mean of the equivalized disposable income.

Usage

miuc(dataset, ci = FALSE, rep = 1000, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

dataset	a data.frame containing variables obtained by using the setupDataset function.
ci	logical; if TRUE, 95 percent confidence interval is given for the mean income per unit of consumption.
rep	a number to do the confidence interval using boostrap technique.
verbose	logical; if TRUE the confindence interval is plotted.

Details

The equivalized disposable income is calculated using the standar equivalence scale called the modified OECD scale and recommended by Eurostat. The parametric scale of Buhmann et al. (1988) can also be used. The default is the modified OECD scale (see setupDataset).

Value

The value of mean income per unit of consumption
