Examples

# Make input data by changing variable names and sign coding.
h <- SSBtoolsData("FIFA2018ABCD")[, 1:3]
names(h)[1:2] <- c("from", "to")
minus <- h$sign < 0
h$sign <- "+"
h$sign[minus] <- "-"

# Run HierarchyFix - Two levels created
HierarchyFix(h, c(mapsFrom = "from", mapsTo = "to", sign = "sign"))

# Extend the hierarchy table
h2 <- rbind(data.frame(from = c("Oceania", "Asia", "Africa", "America", "Europe"),
                       to = "World", sign = "+"),
           data.frame(from = c("World", "Europe"),
                      to = "nonEurope", sign = c("+", "-")), h)

# Run HierarchyFix - Three levels created
HierarchyFix(h2, c(mapsFrom = "from", mapsTo = "to", sign = "sign"))
