Imputation and Derivation

Derivation

Consumer unit:

A person's calorie requirement varies with age and sex. Therefore the total calorie requirement of a group of persons depends not just on the number of persons in the group but also on their age and sex. To facilitate comparisons between calorie requirements of persons of different ages and sexes, a conversion table is used. The table assigns a number of consumer units (usually less than 1) to a person depending on age and sex. (Implicitly, there is a "reference man" corresponding to exactly 1 consumer unit.)
