Calculate the Growth Score

Description

Calculate the growth score for all units in a Squadron of Merit Listing.

Usage

calculate_growth_score(som_report, focus_area = "balanced")

Arguments

som_report	A data.table containing the Squadron of Merit Listing data.
focus_area	The focus area for scoring, which defaults to "balanced".

Details

The default growth score is calculated by awarding 2 points for every cadet who joins or renews, giving equal weighting to both recruiting and retention. The focus_area variable can be used to change this.

Use recruiting to award 3 points for every new cadet and 1 point for every renewal. Use retention to award 1 point for every new cadet and 3 points for every renewal.

The final result is then standardized using the distribution of the scores to have a mean of 1 and standard deviation of 1.

Value

A data.table containing the unit charter number and the growth score.
