A composite indicator is formed when individual indicators are compiled into a single index on the basis of an underlying model. Using this package, user can upload his own dataset of composite indicators and then compute, compare and test the sensitivity of index. While computing the index, the user can give options to perform imputation of missing data, cleaning, normalization, weighting and aggregation.
