Data_sample {compindPCA}

Sample data for the PCA based compositive index.

Description

Multivariate data which contains set of positive and negative variables.

Usage

data("Data_sample")

Details

The multivariate data set comprises ten hypothetical variables ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’, ‘G’, ‘H’, ‘I’, and ‘J’ which are carefully chosen indicators of the hypothetical construct for which the composite index is intended to be developed. The variables have different degrees of importance to define the whole phenomenon represented through the hypothetical construct. The ten variables need to be assigned relative weights and aggregated to get the composite index value. Variable ‘E’ has a negative relationship with the construct, meaning the larger the value of the variable ‘E’, the lesser its effect on the construct. The reverse consideration is made for the remaining nine positive variables. The variables have different units of measurement.
