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).

A set of utilities for manipulating index numbers series including chain-linking, re-referencing, and computing growth rates.

Computes bilateral and multilateral index numbers. 
    It has support for many standard bilateral indexes as well as
    multilateral index number methods such as GEKS, GEKS-Tornqvist 
    (or CCDI), Geary-Khamis and the weighted time product dummy
    (for details on these methods see Diewert and Fox (2020) 
    <doi:10.1080/07350015.2020.1816176>). 
    It also supports updating of multilateral indexes using 
    several splicing methods.

Helps with the thoughtful saving, reading, and management of result
  files (using 'rds' files). The core functions take a list of parameters that are
  used to generate a unique hash to save results under. Then, the same
  parameter list can be used to read those results back in. This
  is helpful to avoid clunky file naming when running a large number of
  simulations. Additionally, helper functions are available for compiling a flat
  file of parameters of saved results, monitoring result usage, and cleaning up
  unwanted or unused results. For more information, visit the 'indexr' homepage

Quick indexation of any type of vector or of any combination of those. Indexation turns a vector into an integer vector going from 1 to the number of unique elements. Indexes are important building blocks for many algorithms. The method is described at <https://github.com/lrberge/indexthis/>.

Allows the construction selection indices based on estimated breeding values in animal and plant breeding and to calculate several analytic measures around to assess its impact on genetic and phenotypic progress. The methodology thereby allows to analyze genetic gain of traits in the breeding goal which are not part of the actual index and automatically computes several analytic measures. It further allows to retrospectively derive realized economic weights from observed genetic trends. The framework is described in Simianer, H., Heise, J., Rensing, S., Pook, T. Geibel, J. and Reimer, C. (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12711-023-00807-0>.
