Create recode pattern for 'rec' function
Convenient function to create a recode pattern for the
rec function, which recodes (numeric)
vectors into smaller groups.
rec_pattern(from, to, width = 5, other = NULL)
from |
Minimum value that should be recoded. |
to |
Maximum value that should be recoded. |
width |
Numeric, indicating the range of each group. |
other |
String token, indicating how to deal with all other values
that have not been captured by the recode pattern. See 'Details'
on the |
A list with two values:
patternstring pattern that can be used as rec argument for the rec-function.
labelsthe associated values labels that can be used with set_labels.
group_var for recoding variables into smaller groups, and
group_labels to create the asssociated value labels.
rp <- rec_pattern(1, 100) rp # sample data, inspect age of carers data(efc) table(efc$c160age, exclude = NULL) table(rec(efc$c160age, rec = rp$pattern), exclude = NULL) # recode carers age into groups of width 5 x <- rec( efc$c160age, rec = rp$pattern, val.labels = rp$labels ) # watch result frq(x)
