Define weights for a composite fiscal-health index

Source: R/fiscal-weights.R
fiscal_weights.Rd

Creates a validated weighting specification for already-scored dimensions and standalone indicators. It does not discover dimensions or fit a measurement model.

Usage

fiscal_weights(
  fit = NULL,
  weights = NULL,
  include_standalone = TRUE,
  normalize = TRUE,
  missing = c("reweight", "complete"),
  min_coverage = 1,
  name = NULL
)

Arguments

fit

Optional fiscal_health_fit object identifying the available measures and their types.

weights

Optional named numeric vector of custom weights. If omitted, all included measures receive equal weight.

include_standalone

Include standalone indicators from fit in an automatically generated or validated specification.

normalize

Normalize weights to sum to one.

missing

Composite-index missing-score rule: "reweight" reallocates weight across available scores; "complete" requires every positively weighted score.

min_coverage

Minimum weighted coverage required to report the index.

name

Optional descriptive name for the weighting specification.

Value

An object of class fiscal_weights.
