Implementation of Flag Aggregation
Assignment of the weights for the multiple flags
Flag aggregation by the frequency count method
Flag aggregation by the hierarchical inheritance method
Flag aggregation by the weighted frequency method
Derive flags for an aggregates using diffrent methods
Three methods are implemented in R to facilitate the aggregations of flags in official statistics. From the underlying flags the highest in the hierarchy, the most frequent, or with the highest total weight is propagated to the flag(s) for EU or other aggregates.
