In manifestoR: Access and Process Data and Documents of the Manifesto Project

Description

aggregate_pers is a general function to aggregate percentage variables by creating a new variable holding the sum. If a variable with the name for the aggregate already exists, it is overwritten, giving a warning if it is changed, not NA, not zero and not named "peruncod".

Usage

aggregate_pers(
  data,
  groups = v5_v4_aggregation_relations(),
  na.rm = FALSE,
  keep = FALSE,
  overwrite = names(groups)
)

Arguments

data	dataset to use in aggregation
groups	(named) list of variable name vectors to aggregate to a new one (as given in the name); see default value for an example of the format
na.rm	passed on to sum
keep	keep variables that were aggregated in result?
overwrite	Names of the variables that are allowed to be overwritten by aggregate. Defaults to all aggregate variable names. If a variable is overwritten, a message is issued in any case.
