scoreb_yrs: Scoreboard of countries

Description

A scoreboard of countries shows the departure of an indicator level from the average, for each year in the dataset. It also considers one-year changes and the inherent average (and departure) for each year.

Usage

scoreb_yrs(myTB, timeName = "time")

Value

list of tibbles containing departures and integer labels. Integer values in the result refers to the partition (-Inf, m-1 s, m-0.5 s, m+0.5 s, m+1 s, Inf) where m is the average and s the standard deviation at a given time t; in particular the ordinal is 1 if the interval (-Inf, m -1 s) contains the indicator, it is 2 if the interval ( m-1 s, m-0.5 s) contains the indicator, and so on up to the value 5 that means an indicator value above m + 1 s.

Arguments

myTB

original complete dataset (tibble) time by country, ordered by time; only time and countries variables must be present, no average or auxiliary variables at all. Only years of interest must be present and only countries contributing to the average of each year.

timeName

string with the name of the time variable in myTB

Examples

# Example 1
# Dataset in the format years by countries:
require(tibble)
testTB <- dplyr::tribble(
    ~time, ~countryA ,  ~countryB,  ~countryC,
    2000,     0.8,   2.7,    3.9,
    2001,     1.2,   3.2,    4.2,
    2002,     0.9,   2.9,    4.1,
    2003,     1.3,   2.9,    4.0,
    2004,     1.2,   3.1,    4.1,
    2005,     1.2,   3.0,    4.0
    )
resTB1<-scoreb_yrs(testTB, timeName = "time")

# Example 2
# Scoreboard of countries for the emp_20_64_MS Eurofound dataset:
data("emp_20_64_MS")
resTB2 <- scoreb_yrs(emp_20_64_MS,timeName = "time")
