Subcomponents of a goal- Average in functions.r?

jennifergriffiths commented 8 years ago

In CW, we have decided to have NUT, CON, and TRA, as sub-components. But, we want them to have their own pressures and goal-specific regulation resilience.

How does this work in terms of the status calculation in functions.r and what is sent on for the final calculate scores? I would think that sub-component status and trend scores should be averaged and only one value for CW sent on (this is what I have done right now). But not sure if this then poses problems for the future status calculation if we want each sub-component to have its own pressures and resilience?

Hi @jennifergriffiths,

You can add your subcomponents (nutrients, contaminants, trash) as individual rows within the pressures_matrix.csv, like NP or CS has. Then, you'll be able to have specific pressures (columns) act individually on the CW components (your new rows).

And you're right that the subcomponents will be combined into one value for CW status and trend, and the same will occur for pressures as well.

Hi @jules32 Thanks, I understand the architecture of setting it up in csv files.

But I can't visualize the math that is then done to go from the individual components (as registered in the csv layer) to the equation for future status which is only for the goal as a whole. Sorry if I am being dense - it seems like this step is not shown in the equations or verbally anywhere?

Maybe this is something best sorted out in June on skype - probably easiest to see /hear where I am going astray!

Thanks again!

Hi @jennifergriffiths,

The short answer is that the pressures components will be calculated separately by ohicore::CalculatePressuresAll() before being combined into a single pressure score for CW, which then is used for the likely future state score, which is then combined with the single status score to create the overall Index score. So the components are calculated separately for pressures but not for long before being combined into a single pressure score for CW.

Does this help?

Yes, thanks, that helps.

I'll look at the script when I get back and let you know if I have other questions.

I just think I need to be clear so that I don't explain things incorrectly!

Have a lovely weekend, Jennifer
