Methodology

What is PDI? The Portfolio Diversification Index measures the balance of your directory placements across four categories. It combines three sub‑scores:

  1. Balance — normalized Shannon entropy: H = −∑ pᵢ log₂ pᵢ, scaled by Hmax=log₂(4)=2 so Balance = (H/2)×100.
  2. Target Alignment — 1 − Jensen–Shannon divergence (base‑2) between your actual mix P and your target mix T, scaled to 0–100: TA = (1 − JSD(P∥T))×100.
  3. Authority Adequacy — checks your High‑Authority share vs your minimum target: AA = min(pHigh / targetHigh, 1)×100.

Composite PDI is a weighted sum of these three sub‑scores. All logs are base‑2; zero terms contribute 0. HHI is provided for context (HHI = ∑ pᵢ²; lower is more diversified).

I basically work in the CMS, like Joomla and WordPress and in framework like Laravel and have keen interest in developing mobile apps by utilizing hybrid technology. I also have experience working in AWS technology. In terms of CMS, I give Joomla the most value because I found it so much user freindly and my clients feel so much easy to manage their project in it.
