Details
The quality data set stores quality and component scores for the
various companies list in the companies data set. For
every ticker in companies, quality attempts to assign a profitability,
growth, safety, and payouts score to each company using data from
financials and prices, and then attempts
to provide a quality score. It is possible that one or more companies
may not have sufficient information to provide one or more component
scores, in which case those companies can still be found at the end
of the data set, with NA's making up any data that cannot be found.
If partial information exists (i.e., a profitability score was able to be calculated), then those scores are kept for that company, even if insufficient information exists to produce a quality score. More details may be found on the technical vignette.
