Description

S3 method of the function summary that for an object of class parsec, obtained from the evaluation function, write the main informations. In particular, it writes a table that for each profile shows

• the modalities of the variables that identify the profile (if they are returned buy the evaluation function,

• the weight assigned,

• if it belongs to the threshold,

• the value of the identification function,

• the average rank,

• the different gap measures (see evaluation for details).

If the number of profiles is higher then ten, the showen table is cut, but this method returns a data.frame representing the complete table as output. This data.frame can also be summarized.

Finally this method shows the average poverty and wealth gaps and the inequality measure.
