complexity_measures: Complexity Measures

Description

Complexity Measures

Usage

complexity_measures(revealed_comparative_advantage = NULL,
  country = "country", product = "product", value = "value",
  method = "fitness", iterations = 20, extremality = 1,
  keep_atlas = FALSE, tbl_output = FALSE)

Arguments

revealed_comparative_advantage

matrix or tibble/data.frame (e.g. the output of revealed_comparative_advantage()). If the input is a matrix it must be a zero/one matrix with countries in rows and products in columns. If the input is a tibble/data.frame it must contain at least three columns with countries, products and values.

country

string to indicate the column that contains exporting countries in revealed_comparative_advantage (set to "country" by default)

product

string to indicate the column that contains exported products in revealed_comparative_advantage (set to "product" by default)

value

string to indicate the column that contains traded values in revealed_comparative_advantage (set to "value" by default)

method

string to indicate to use one of these methods: reflections, eigenvalues or fitness (set to "fitness" by default)

iterations

number of iterations to use in the reflections method (set to 20 by default)

extremality

numeric coefficient to use in the fitness method (set to 1 by default)

keep_atlas

logical value to remove the countries not ranked in The Atlas of Economic Complexity (set to FALSE by default)

tbl_output

logical value to use tibble output instead of a matrix output (set to FALSE by default)
