title: 'pridit: Composite Scoring via Principal Component Analysis of Ridit Scores'
version: 1.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.pridit
abstract: 'Implements ''PRIDIT'' (Principal Component Analysis applied to ''RIDITs''),
  an unsupervised, nonparametric method for aggregating ordinal, categorical, and
  continuous indicators into a single interpretable composite score. Originally proposed
  by Brockett et al. (2002) <https://doi.org/10.1111/1539-6975.00027> for insurance
  fraud detection and extended to hospital quality measurement by Lieberthal (2008)
  <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-6773.2007.00821.x> and Lieberthal and Comer (2013)
  <https://doi.org/10.1111/rmir.12009>. The package provides: (1) low-level functions
  ridit(), PRIDITweight(), and PRIDITscore(); (2) a unified pridit() entry point returning
  a classed object with print, summary, ''autoplot'', and ''coef'' methods; (3) pridit_boot()
  for bootstrap confidence intervals on scores and weights; (4) a step_pridit() recipe
  step for out-of-sample scoring within the ''tidymodels'' framework; and (5) pridit_longitudinal()
  for panel data, computing cross-period stability of scores and weights.'
