GB2 (version 1.0)

Contindic: Sensitivity Analysis of Laeken Indicators on GB2 Parameters

Description

Produces a contour plot of an indicator.

Usage

contindic.gb2(resol, a, p1, p2, q1, q2, fn, tit, table=FALSE)

Arguments

resol

a scalar; number of grid points horizontally and vertically.

a

scalar; positive parameter

p1, p2, q1, q2

scalars; p1 and q1 (p2 and q2) are, respectively, the min and max values of the positive parameters of the Beta distribution p and q.

fn

character; the name of the function to be used for the calculation of the values to be plotted.

tit

string; title of the plot.

table

boolean; if TRUE, a table containing the values of the function fn at the different grid points is printed.

Value

• A contour plot of a given indicator for a fixed value of the shape parameter a.

Details

An indicator is defined as a function of three parameters. The shape parameter, a, is held fixed.
