Construct share variable
A function for constructing the share of a variable of an aggregated variable.
shConstruct(data, totVar, shareVar, newVarName = NA)
data |
The data frame containing both the share variable and the aggregated variable |
totVar |
The aggregated variable. |
shareVar |
The subset of the aggregated variable which to be divided by. |
newVarName |
The name assigned to the new variable, if missing then .SC/.SH/.GR will be appended depending on the type of construction |
The share of a variable can be share of the World (if additional variable were not supplied) or share of another variable (per Capita if population was supplied).
A data frame with the new constructed variable
## Total variables provided, scale by totVar
test.df = data.frame(FAOST_CODE = 1, Year = 1990:1994, a = 1:5, b = 1:5)
shConstruct(data = test.df, totVar = "a", shareVar = "b")
## Total variables not provided, scale by world aggregate.
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))
shConstruct(data = test.df2, totVar = NA, shareVar = "b")Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
