Transform Codes to Start-End Durations

Description

Transforms the range coding structure(s) from cm_range.temp (in list format) into a data frame of start and end durations in long format.

Usage

cm_range2long(
  ...,
  v.name = "variable",
  list.var = TRUE,
  debug = TRUE,
  object = NULL
)

Arguments

v.name

An optional name for the column created for the list.var argument.

list.var

logical. If TRUE creates a column for the data frame created by each time.list passed to cm_t2l.

debug

logical. If TRUE debugging mode is on. cm_time2long will return possible errors in time span inputs.

object

A list of list object(s) generated by cm_time.temp.

...

list object(s) in the form generated by cm_time.temp.

Value

Generates a data frame of start and end spans for each code.

## Not run: 
foo <- list(
    person_greg = qcv(terms='7:11, 20:24, 30:33, 49:56'),
    person_researcher = qcv(terms='42:48'),
    person_sally = qcv(terms='25:29, 37:41'),
    person_sam = qcv(terms='1:6, 16:19, 34:36'),
    person_teacher = qcv(terms='12:15'),
    adult_0 = qcv(terms='1:11, 16:41, 49:56'),
    adult_1 = qcv(terms='12:15, 42:48'),
    AA = qcv(terms="1"),
    BB = qcv(terms="1:2, 3:10, 19"),
    CC = qcv(terms="1:9, 100:150")
)

foo2  <- list(
    person_greg = qcv(terms='7:11, 20:24, 30:33, 49:56'),
    person_researcher = qcv(terms='42:48'),
    person_sally = qcv(terms='25:29, 37:41'),
    person_sam = qcv(terms='1:6, 16:19, 34:36'),
    person_teacher = qcv(terms='12:15'),
    adult_0 = qcv(terms='1:11, 16:41, 49:56'),
    adult_1 = qcv(terms='12:15, 42:48'),
    AA = qcv(terms="40"),
    BB = qcv(terms="50:90"),
    CC = qcv(terms="60:90, 100:120, 150"),
    DD = qcv(terms="")
)

## General ldots Approach
(dat <- cm_range2long(foo, foo2, v.name = "time"))
plot(dat)

## Specify `object` Approach
cm_range2long(object=list(foo=foo))
cm_range2long(object=list(foo=foo, foo2=foo2), v.name="time")
cm_range2long(object=list(a=foo, b=foo2), v.name="time")
