Switch ilostat to distribution — distribution

Get distribution for ilostat number of persons only.

Usage

distribution_ilostat(
  x,
  var,
  .keep = FALSE,
  quiet = getOption("ilostat_quiet", TRUE)
)

Arguments

x: dataset to transform into distribution.
var: String variable name use for the distribution default "no", could be "sex", "classif1", "classif2".
.keep: if true return only new column call distribution default FALSE,
quiet: a logical, if TRUE , don't return message from processing, FALSE (default). Can be set also with options(ilostat_quiet = TRUE).

Value

a data_frame. obs_status will no longer be a number of persons but a percentage.

Details

this function use the max of the corresponding grouping so it is important to not filter any subset of the corresponding variable selected for the distribution at this level, ie. if you remove SEX_T, the distribution by sex will only have SEX_F or SEX_M / max(SEX_M, SEX_F) * 100, which is no longer a distribution.

In addition, distribution is only applicable for indicators with Number of persons (usually in thousands), So please do not distribute ratios, earnings, hours of works, CPI, GDP etc ... no warning will prevent for that if doubts use distribution from get_ilostat() instead of, warnings will help you.
