Convert Brazil's quarterly PNADC survey data into sub-quarterly time series (monthly, fortnightly, weekly) and mensalize IBGE SIDRA aggregate series.

## Installation

Install the released version from CRAN:

```r
install.packages("PNADCperiods")
```

Or the development version from GitHub:

```r
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("antrologos/PNADCperiods")
```

## Main Features

- **Microdata mensalization**: Identify reference months, fortnights, and weeks in PNADC microdata
- **SIDRA mensalization**: Convert 86+ rolling quarterly IBGE series to exact monthly values
- **Weight calibration**: Hierarchical raking to IBGE population totals
- **~97% monthly determination** with full data stacking; experimental strategies improve fortnight/week rates further

## Interactive Dashboard

Explore 86+ official PNADC series with an interactive dashboard -- no R required:

**<https://antrologos.shinyapps.io/PNADCperiods-dashboard/>**

The dashboard is built on top of this package and lets you visualize mensalized series, compare strategies, and download monthly time-series as CSV.

## Basic Usage

### Microdata Mensalization

```r
library(PNADCperiods)

# Build crosswalk identifying reference periods
crosswalk <- pnadc_identify_periods(pnadc_stacked)

# Apply to data with weight calibration
result <- pnadc_apply_periods(pnadc, crosswalk, weight_var = "V1028", anchor = "quarter")
```

### SIDRA Series Mensalization

```r
# Fetch rolling quarterly data from SIDRA
rolling <- fetch_sidra_rolling_quarters(theme = "labor_market")

# Convert to exact monthly series
monthly <- mensalize_sidra_series(rolling)
```

## Key Functions

| `pnadc_apply_periods()` | Apply crosswalk + calibrate weights |
| `pnadc_experimental_periods()` | Boost rates with probabilistic strategies |
| `validate_pnadc()` | Validate input columns |

### SIDRA Series

| Function | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `get_sidra_series_metadata()` | List 86+ available PNADC series |
| `fetch_sidra_rolling_quarters()` | Download rolling quarter data from SIDRA |

## Credits

Original PNADC data is collected by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The mensalization methodology was developed by Marcos Hecksher ([Ipea](https://www.ipea.gov.br/)) --- see Hecksher (2020, IPEA Nota Tecnica Disoc n. 62 and n. 87; Carta de Conjuntura v. 47). The R package, interactive dashboard, and documentation website were developed by Rogerio J. Barbosa at the [Center for the Study of Wealth and Social Stratification (Ceres - IESP/UERJ)](https://ceres-iesp.uerj.br/).
