Local Income Rank Status Anxiety Calculator
Actual local-reference income midrank with half ties; not a status-anxiety calculation or inference of emotions from income rank. Reference cohort, units and weighting independently specified.
Description
A local income midrank locates one observation within a declared reference sample.
A local income midrank locates one observation within a declared reference sample.1
Tied incomes receive half their reference weight; the resulting percentile does not diagnose anxiety.
When to use Local Income Rank Status Anxiety Calculator
Use this tool to obtain observedReferenceMidrankPercentile, strictlyLowerReferenceCount, equalReferenceCount from the supplied records using the stated calculation. Establish the population, period, variable definitions, sample coverage and independently applicable instrument or calibration.
How to use Local Income Rank Status Anxiety Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the population, period, variable definitions, sample coverage and independently applicable instrument or calibration.
- Enter callerLocalReferenceIncomes, observedPersonalIncome, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.observedReferenceMidrankPercentile, result.strictlyLowerReferenceCount, result.equalReferenceCount. Use the units and sign conventions below, and review any unknown records separately.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerLocalReferenceIncomes | Caller local reference incomes | list of number | Required |
| observedPersonalIncome | Observed personal income | number | Required |
Require a nonempty nonnegative reference-income list with positive total, plus nonnegative personal income. Count strictly lower and exactly equal reference values; return the midrank percentile with half weight for ties. No sorting, weighting or anxiety measurement is performed.
midrankPercentile=100×(lowerCount+0.5×equalCount)/referenceCount Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Calculated observation or qualified reference | object |
| result.observedReferenceMidrankPercentile | Percentile from strictly lower reference values plus half-weighted ties. | number |
| result.strictlyLowerReferenceCount | Number of reference incomes strictly below the personal income. | number |
| result.equalReferenceCount | Number of reference incomes exactly equal to the personal income. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Population definitions, survey design, calibration and observation coverage are independently established. A result describes the supplied record or conditional model without demonstrating causation, validating an instrument or supplying representative population evidence.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries, subject to the narrower lengths and code rules above. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
