Fuzzy monetary poverty estimation

Description

constructs fuzzy monetary poverty estimates.

Usage

fm_TFR(predicate, weight, ID, HCR, interval, alpha, breakdown, verbose)

Arguments

predicate

A numeric vector of a predicate variable (i.e. equivalised income or expenditure)

weight

A numeric vector of sampling weights. if NULL simple random sampling weights will be used.

ID

A numeric or character vector of IDs. if NULL (the default) it is set as the row sequence.

HCR

The value of the head count ratio (this is not used in the case that alpha is supplied by the user).

interval

A numeric vector of length two to look for the value of alpha (if not supplied).

alpha

The value of the exponent in equation $E(mu)^(alpha-1) = HCR$. If NULL it is calculated so that it equates the expectation of the membership function to HCR

breakdown

A factor of sub-domains to calculate estimates for (using the same alpha).

verbose

Logical. whether to print the proceeding of the procedure.

Value

The membership function of the Total Fuzzy and Relative indicator.
