Get Eurostat Codes for data downloaded from new dissemination API

Description

Get definitions for Eurostat codes from Eurostat dictionaries.

Usage

label_eurostat(
  x,
  dic = NULL,
  code = NULL,
  eu_order = FALSE,
  lang = "en",
  countrycode = NULL,
  countrycode_nomatch = NULL,
  custom_dic = NULL,
  fix_duplicated = FALSE
)

label_eurostat_vars(x = NULL, id, lang = "en")

label_eurostat_tables(x, lang = "en")

Arguments

x	A character or a factor vector or a data_frame.
dic	A string (vector) naming eurostat dictionary or dictionaries. If NULL (default) dictionary names taken from column names of the data_frame.
code	For data_frames names of the column for which also code columns should be retained. The suffix "_code" is added to code column names.
eu_order	Logical. Should Eurostat ordering used for label levels. Affects only factors.
lang	2-letter language code, default is "en" (English), other options are "fr" (French) and "de" (German). Used for labeling datasets.
countrycode	A NULL or a name of the coding scheme for the countrycode::countrycode() to label "geo" variable with countrycode-package. It can be used to convert to short and long country names in many different languages. If NULL (default) eurostat dictionary is used instead.
countrycode_nomatch	What to do when using the countrycode to label a "geo" and countrycode fails to find a match, for example other than country codes like EU28. The original code is used with a NULL (default), eurostat dictionary label is used with "eurostat", and NA is used with NA.
custom_dic	a named vector or named list of named vectors to give an own dictionary for (part of) codes. Names of the vector should be codes and values labels. List can be used to specify dictionaries and then list names should be dictionary codes.
fix_duplicated	A logical. If TRUE, the code is added to the duplicated label values. If FALSE (default) error is given if labeling produce duplicates.
id	A unique identifier / code for the dataset of interest. If code is not known search_eurostat() function can be used to search Eurostat table of contents.

Details

A character or a factor vector of codes returns a corresponding vector of definitions. label_eurostat() labels also data_frames from get_eurostat(). For vectors a dictionary name have to be supplied. For data_frames dictionary names are taken from column names. "time" and "values" columns are returned as they were, so you can supply data_frame from get_eurostat() and get data_frame with definitions instead of codes.

Some Eurostat dictionaries includes duplicated labels. By default duplicated labels cause an error, but they can be fixed automatically with fix_duplicated = TRUE.

Value

a vector or a data_frame.

Functions

• label_eurostat_vars(): Get definitions for variable (column) names.

• label_eurostat_tables(): Get definitions for table names
