This repo contains the source code, which I have used for my bachelor's thesis when creating my own composite indicator: The Attractiveness Index of Global Economies.
My thesis can be read here https://dmpe.github.io/PapersAndArticles/ and please feel free to contact me if needed. Any corrections or suggestions may (and probably even will!) be done.

As a small exercise (before I even started with my work) I have created http://rpubs.com/F789GH/SingaporesEducation (BTW. you will need to look https://gist.github.com/dmpe/b8c3f74d1e937d90b20f for the code as the link inside is wrong).
There are two branches. The master branch is the default one. However, what I have handed to the university is located under pro_odevzdani. This is also much more polished one e.g. from the unused comments, mess etc.
The installation process (on Ubuntu) is quite pathetic. So take a long breath and submit problems to https://github.com/s-u/rJava. To make rJava work, use Google and stackoverflow.
Always install official java 8 from oracle and less official "openjdk-8". Don't forget to run R CMD javareconf (-e) too! Maybe this will also help http://stackoverflow.com/a/21504335
Or, at last use some other packages too: https://github.com/hadley/readxl
