contrib {piar}

Extract percent-change contributions

Description

Extract a matrix of percent-change contributions from a price index.

Usage

contrib(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'piar_index'
contrib(x, level = levels(x)[1L], period = time(x), ..., pad = 0)

Arguments

x

A price index, as made by, e.g., elemental_index().

...

Further arguments passed to or used by methods.

level

The level of an index for which percent-change contributions are desired, defaulting to the first level (usually the top-level for an aggregate index).

period

The time periods for which percent-change contributions are desired, defaulting to all time periods.

pad

A numeric value to pad contributions so that they fit into a rectangular array when products differ over time. The default is 0.

Value

A matrix of percent-change contributions with a column for each period and a row for each product (sorted) for which there are contributions in level. Contributions are padded with pad to fit into a rectangular array when products differ over time.
