In retroharmonize: Ex Post Survey Data Harmonization

retroharmonize 0.2.0

• Adding rogtemplate for more consistent ROpenGov documentation.
• Several documentation good practices. (Thanks for the contribution from \@dieghernan).
• The former create_codebook() function is now create_codebook() for naming consistency.

retroharmonize 0.1.9

• New function read_dta() for importing STATA files.

retroharmoinze 0.1.18

• New functions codebook_create() and codebook_waves_create()
• Improved retroharmonize_labelled_spss_survey() summary method.
• Much exception handling included in the import file (discovered problems with Caucasus Barometer files.)
• Sometimes haven::read_spss() reads columns as labelled, even though they do not have a single label. In class survey() we convert them back to numeric or character types.

retroharmoinze 0.1.16

• Arab Barometer tutorial vignette.
• Transition to tidyverse 1.0+ with using the rlang .data pronoun, etc.
• Bug fix in harmonize_waves(): Date types are now correctly harmonized.
• We started building an experimental APIs data is running regions regularly and improving known statistical data sources. See: Digital Music Observatory, Green Deal Data Observatory, Economy Data Observatory.

retroharmoinze 0.1.15

• Documentation improvements.
• A new function, harmonize_var_names(), helps to systematically rename variables in a list of surveys. Conventional names to keep are returned by suggest_permanent_names(), and the helper function suggest_var_names() provides a simple wrapper around var_label_normalize() and suggest_permanent_names().
• A new function, subset_waves(), helps to subset a wave of surveys.
• With the help of goodpractice, some coding good practices are introduced.

retroharmoinze 0.1.14

• harmonize_values() now accepts perl-like regex.
