Get selected Lorenz curve for distributional stats

Usage

pipgd_select_lorenz(
  params = NULL,
  welfare = NULL,
  weight = NULL,
  mean = 1,
  times_mean = 1,
  popshare = NULL,
  povline = ifelse(is.null(popshare), mean * times_mean, NA_real_),
  complete = getOption("pipster.return_complete")
)

Arguments

params

list of parameters from pipgd_validate_lorenz()

welfare

numeric vector of cumulative share of welfare (income/consumption)

weight

numeric vector of cumulative share of the population

mean

numeric scalar of distribution mean. Default is 1

times_mean

numeric factor that multiplies the mean to create a relative poverty line. Default is 1

popshare

numeric: range (0,1). Share of population. Provide share of population instead of poverty line

povline

numeric: value of poverty line. Default is the mean value

complete

logical: If TRUE, returns a list a cumulative returns from previously used get_gd functions. Default is FALSE

Value

Returns a list of values with the best lorenz fit given the distributional Stats.

Examples

# Example 1: Directly using welfare and weight vectors.

                    weight = pip_gd$P)

#> [1] "lq"
#> 
#> $selected_lorenz$for_pov

#> 
#> $selected_lorenz$use_lq_for_dist
#> [1] TRUE
#> 
#> $selected_lorenz$use_lq_for_pov

# Example 2: Specifying mean and poverty line.

                    weight = pip_gd$P,
                    mean = custom_mean,
                    povline = 1.25)
