Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for your response. Since my study is at the individual level, I am using a PR file. I am looking into wealth-related inequality in diabetes using a PR file. For the same, I am computing a fractional rank for individuals with individuals i=1,...,n ranked by the socio-economic status indicator in ascending order. Here, the socioeconomic indicator is the wealth index factor score.
I am attaching a screenshot of the content that I am referring to, which states that the mean of the fractional rank would be exactly 0.5 using the commands that I applied.
My analysis includes a semiparametric extension of the Wagstaff index comparing the values of indices across different districts.
