changeValLabels: Change value labels.

In eatGADS: Data Management of Large Hierarchical Data

Change value labels.

Description

Change or add value labels of one or multiple variables as part of a GADSdat object.

Usage

changeValLabels(GADSdat, varName, value, valLabel)

Arguments

GADSdat	GADSdat object imported via eatGADS.
varName	Character vector containing variable names.
value	Numeric values which are being labeled.
valLabel	Character vector of the new value labels. Labels are applied in the same ordering as value.

Details

Applied to a GADSdat or all_GADSdat object, this function is a wrapper of getChangeMeta and applyChangeMeta. The function supports changing multiple value labels (valLabel) as well as value labels of multiple variables (varName) at once.

Value

Returns the GADSdat object with changed meta data.

Examples

# Change existing value labels
pisa2 <- changeValLabels(pisa, varName = "repeated",
                        value = c(1, 2),
                        valLabel = c("no grade repetition", "grade repitition"))

# Add value label to unlabeled value
mtcars_g <- import_DF(mtcars)
mtcars_g2 <- changeValLabels(mtcars_g, varName = "cyl",
                             value = c(4, 6, 8),
                             valLabel = c("four", "six", "eight"))

# Add value labels to multiple variables at once
mtcars_g3 <- changeValLabels(mtcars_g, varName = c("mpg", "cyl", "disp"),
                             value = c(-99, -98),
                             valLabel = c("missing", "not applicable"))
