DOC: Documentation on supported groupings #723

Closed ChristianZimpelmann closed 4 months ago

ChristianZimpelmann commented 5 months ago

Is there any documentation on the groupings we are currently supporting? Would be great to have a short description of who is expected to be in that group (not sure about Familiengemeinschaft fg for example).

MImmesberger commented 5 months ago

The groups are documented in GEP 01, but are not yet part of the proper tutorial.

Thanks! Very helpful although ehe and eg are still missing there.

I also found the SUPPORTED_GROUPINGS dictionary which provides some more context and is all I need for now. There, I am just not sure whether fg can consist of an adult (say 30 year old) and his/her parents. The description reads as if it is possible ("Maximum of two generations"), but the code base seems to imply that a fg consists of at most two adults.

fg is basically the potential bg, before removing children with too high incomes. So I guess the answer is no.
