ProcessControl: Process Control for compind

In CItools: Computation, comparison and sensitivity analysis of composite indicators of performance

Description

Process Control for calculating composite index using compind

Usage

ProcessControl(aggregation = c('geometric' , 'linear'),                       normalization = c('min-max', 'none', 'z-score', 'robust-z-score'),                       weights = c( 'equal', 'random', 'fixed'),missingindicator = c('last','none','reweight', 'linear'), cleaning = c('none', 'hampel_twosided', 'hampel_onesided'), setmax = NULL, setmin = NULL)

Arguments

aggregation	type of aggregation used, among 'linear' and 'geometric'. Default: aggregation = 'geometric'.
normalization	type of normalization, among 'min-max', 'z-score', 'none'and 'robust-z-score'. Default: normalization = 'min-max'.
weights	weighting scheme, among 'equal', 'random', and 'fixed'. Default: weights = 'equal'. When using fixed as method, the user can input fixed weights input using weights=c(fixed, w1, w2,...). Please note the lenght of the vector weight in this case must be equal to number of indicators plus one.
missingindicator	action in case of missing value, among 'last', 'none','reweight' and 'linear'. Default: missingindicator = 'last'.
cleaning	winsorization of outliers, among 'random', 'none', 'hampel_twosided' and 'hampel_onesided'. Default: cleaning = 'none'.
setmax	caps the value of an indicator to a fixed number in min-max normalisation. Input should be as setmax <- c(NA, NA, x1, NA,..) if third indicator is to be capped at x1.See example for more detail. Please note the length of vector setmax should be equal to number of indicators.
setmin	Fixes the minmum value of an indicator to a fixed number in min-max normalisation. Input should be as setmin <- c(NA, NA, x1, NA,..) if third indicator is to be fixed at minimum value x1.See example for more detail. Please note the length of vector setmin should be equal to number of indicators.

Value

A list containing final methods for aggregation, normalization, weights, missingindicators, cleaning, setmax, setmin computation of index.
