What is this thing?

This is a library for calculating the NISECI and/or HFBI index for a dataset.

Input templates

You can find templates for the input files in the templates folder.

Locale

Since this library is built with knowing that Excel uses some specific separators with the Italian locale, it supports two formats for input/output.

The format differences are:

• Italian:
  • Input expects ; as csv field delimiter, and , can be used as float decimal delimiter
  • Output uses ; as csv field delimiter, and floats are printed with , as decimal delimiter
• International:
  • Input expectes , as csv field delimiter, and . as float decimal delimiter
  • Output uses , as csv field delimiter, and floats are printed with . as decimal delimiter
