IndexNumber - Index Numbers in Social Sciences
We provide an R tool for teaching in Social Sciences. It
allows the computation of index numbers. It is a measure of the
evolution of a fixed magnitude for only a product of for
several products. It is very useful in Social Sciences. Among
others, we obtain simple index numbers (in chain or in serie),
index numbers for not only a product or weighted index numbers
as the Laspeyres index (Laspeyres, 1864), the Paasche index
(Paasche, 1874) or the Fisher index (Lapedes, 1978).
