Add (Select) Leader Experience and Attribute Descriptions (LEAD) Data to Leader-Year or Leader-Dyad-Year Data

Description

add_lead() allows you to add some data recorded in the LEAD data to your leader-year or leader-dyad-year data.

Usage

add_lead(data, keep)

Arguments

`data`	a leader-year or leader-dyad-year data frame
`keep`	an optional parameter, specified as a character vector, about what leader attributes the user wants to return from this function. If `keep` is not specified, everything from the `LEAD` data in this package is returned. Otherwise, the function subsets the `LEAD` data to just what the user wants.

Value

add_lead() takes a leader-year or leader-dyad-year data frame and adds some data recorded in the LEAD data to it. For leader-dyad-year data, suffices of "1" and "2" are added to the data to indicate attributes of the first leader (obsid1) or the second leader (obsid2), respectively.
