Utility measures

Description

Various utility measues that basically compares two data sets

Usage

utility(
  x,
  y,
  type = c("all", "compareColumns", "compareRows", "compareRowsHH", "compareNA"),
  hhid = NULL
)

utilityModal(x, y, varx, vary = NULL)

utilityIndicator(x, y)

Arguments

x	a data.frame, typically the original data set. For utilityIndicator this should be a vector of length 1.
y	a data.frame, typically the corresponding synthetic data set. For utilityIndicator this should be a vector of length 1.
type	which measure compareColumns compares the intersection of variables compareRows compares the number of rows compareRowsHH compares the number of housholds compareNA compares the number of missings
hhid	index or name of variable containing the houshold ID
varx	name or index of a variable in data.frame x
vary	NULL or name or index of a variable in data.frame y corresponding to variable varx in data.frame x. If NULL, the names of the selected variable should be the same in both x and y.

Value

the measure(s) of interest

Functions

• utility(): comparisons of two data sets

• utilityModal(): comparison of number of categories

• utilityIndicator(): difference between two values

Examples

data(eusilcS)
data(eusilcP)
## for fast caluclations, took a subsample

eusilcP <- eusilcP[1:15000, ]
utility(eusilcS, eusilcP)


data(eusilcS)
data(eusilcP)
utilityModal(eusilcS, eusilcP, "age")
utilityModal(eusilcS, eusilcP, "pl030", "ecoStat")

data(eusilcS)
data(eusilcP)
m1 <- meanWt(eusilcS$age, eusilcS$rb050) 
m2 <- mean(eusilcP$age)
utilityIndicator(m1, m2)
