Check if category name should be suppressed in condensed label

Description

Determines whether a category name should be suppressed when condensing binary variables. Returns TRUE for standard affirmative values (e.g., "Yes", "1", "Positive"), standard reference values (e.g., "No", "Absent", "None"), or when the category name essentially matches the variable label (case-insensitive comparison).

Usage

is_affirmative_category(
  category,
  label = NULL,
  norm_category = NULL,
  norm_label = NULL
)

Arguments

category	Character string with the category name.
label	Optional character string with the variable label. If provided, returns TRUE when category is a case-insensitive match or substring.
norm_category	Optional pre-normalized category (lowercase, trimmed). If provided, skips normalization for performance.
norm_label	Optional pre-normalized label (lowercase, trimmed). If provided, skips normalization for performance.

Value

Logical indicating whether category should be suppressed.
