Generic Function for Interpretation

Description

Interpret a value based on a set of rules. See rules().

Usage

interpret(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
interpret(x, rules, name = attr(rules, "rule_name"), transform = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'effectsize_table'
interpret(x, rules, transform = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	Vector of value break points (edges defining categories), or a data frame of class effectsize_table.
...	Currently not used.
rules	Set of rules(). When x is a data frame, can be a name of an established set of rules.
name	Name of the set of rules (will be printed).
transform	a function (or name of a function) to apply to x before interpreting. See examples.

Value

• For numeric input: A character vector of interpretations.

• For data frames: the x input with an additional Interpretation column.
