Construct Growth rate
A function for constructing growth rate variables.
grConstruct(data, origVar, newVarName = NA, type = c("geo", "ls", "ch"), n = 1)data |
The data frame containing the data |
origVar |
The variable in which the growth is to be calculated |
newVarName |
The name assigned to the new variable, if missing then .SC/.SH/.GR will be appended depending on the type of construction. |
type |
The type of growth rate, can be least squares or geometric |
n |
The period for the growth rate to be calculated (Refer to the lsgr or the geogr functions.) |
A data frame containing the computed growth rate.
test.df2 = data.frame(FAOST_CODE = rep(c(1, 5000), each = 5),
Year = rep(1990:1994, 2),
a = rep(1:5, 2), b = rep(1:5, 2))
grConstruct(test.df2, origVar = "a", type = "geo", n = 1)
grConstruct(test.df2, origVar = "a", type = "geo", n = 3)
grConstruct(test.df2, origVar = "a", type = "geo", n = 5)Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
