Description
Return household roster denominator under a guest policy.
Anthropological records depend on source-specific labels, observation periods, coding choices and participant context. A ratio, cyclic index or kinship-code offset describes supplied data rather than identifying a social relationship or cultural meaning. Replacing names with aliases does not establish anonymity.
Return household roster denominator under a guest policy.
When to use this tool
Use Household Roster Temporary Guest Denominator when checking the stated observation, coding, chronology or record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter residents, temporaryGuests, includeGuests. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read denominator, guestShare. Use the output convention below.
Return household roster denominator under a guest policy. Require residents >= 1 and nonnegative whole temporaryGuests; denominator includes guests only under policy, guestShare always uses residents+guests.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| residents | Residents | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| temporaryGuests | Temporary Guests | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| includeGuests | Include Guests | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| denominator | Denominator | Required. Safe integer. |
| guestShare | temporaryGuests/(residents+temporaryGuests), independent of includeGuests. Unit: 1. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The two outputs can use different bases; residency status, actual household membership and comparability are not inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
