Check European names

Description

Check the differences between the names (or codes) given in input and the names (or codes), as provided by Eurostat, of the corresponding selected European statistical unit.

Usage

checkNamesEU(id,
             unit = c("nuts0", "nuts1", "nuts2", "nuts3", "urau"),
             year = c("2021","2016", "2013", "2010", "2006", "2003"),
             matchWith = c("nuts", "id", "iso2", "iso3", "country_code"),
             scale = c("20", "60"), return_logical = FALSE,
             print = TRUE, use_internet = TRUE)

Arguments

id	character vector with names or codes
unit	the type of European statistical unit to check
year	year of the analysis
matchWith	the type of id to check: "nuts" if nuts names "id" if nuts id "iso2" if iso2 code "iso3" if iso3 code "country_code" if Eurostat code
scale	the scale of the map.
return_logical	a logical value indicating whether nomatched id are returned.
print	a logical value indicating whether print the nomatched names
use_internet	a logical value indicating wheter the coordinates are downloaded from https://github.com/dataallaround/geospatial. If FALSE the maps downloaded during package installation will be used.

Details

The function provides a check between id name in the dataset and the European statistical unit. unit starts from the largest aggregate, "nuts0" (European country), to the smallest, "nuts3". Since unit can change over the years, the year of the data has to be provided.

The single unit can be coded in different ways, with names, id or iso standard.

Value

Returns a string vector with nomatched names or a boolean vector indicating whether or not the id matched.
