tidyindex
A Tidy Data Pipeline to Construct, Compare, and Analyse Indexes
Construct and analyse indexes in a pipeline tidy workflow. 'tidyindex' contains modules for transforming variables, aggregating variables across time, reducing data dimension through weighting, and fitting distributions. A manuscript describing the methodology can be found at < https://github.com/huizezhang-sherry/paper-tidyindex>.
tidyindex
Tidyindex provides infrastructures to construct and analyse indexes in a pipeline workflow. The pipeline workflow contains 9 modules for users to arrange into an index, including:
- spatial processing
- temporal processing
- variable transformation
- scaling
- dimension reduction
- distribution fit
- normalising
- benchmarking
- simplification
The package is still in early development stage.
