get_chain_linked {IndexNumberTools}R Documentation

Get chain-linked indices

Description

Computes chain-linked index series from a pyp series.

Usage

get_chain_linked(x, ref_year, x_a = NULL)

Arguments

x

(ts) A pyp series.

ref_year

(num) Reference year for the chain-linked series.

x_a

(ts) Annual pyp series. If not given, it's computed by taking the average of each year.

Details

The chain-linked series x_chain is computed with the annual overlap method. Suppose the x series runs from (y0, p0 = 0) to (y1, p1), where pi is a subyear period. Then the chain-linked series at (y2, p2) is given by the cumulative product of the annual series from y0 to y2-1 times x at (y2, p2).

Value

The chain-linked series.

Examples

gdp_pyp <- get_pyp(gdp_volume)
get_chain_linked(gdp_pyp, 2015)
