Indicator: A package for constructing composite indicators, imputing and evaluating missing data imputation

Description

Provides three main categories of functions: construction of composite indicators, imputation and evaluation of missing data, and data normalization.

Details

Key features include:

• Construction of composite indicators, such as Mazziotta-Pareto Index, Adjusted Mazziotta-Pareto Index, Geometric aggregation, Linear aggregation, and other functions;

• Imputation of missing data through techniques such as Linear Regression Imputation, Hot Deck Imputation, etc;

• Evaluation of missing data imputation using metrics such as R^2, RMSE, and MAE;

• Several functions to standardize and normalize data, such as Standardization by Adjusted Mazziotta-Pareto method, Normalization by Adjusted Mazziotta-Pareto method, and other functions.
