Description

Function to check if an element belongs to a category according to a thesaurus. It is similar to %in% and is.element, returning a logical vector indicating if each element in a given vector is included in a given set. But InCategory checks for equality assuming the equivalencies defined in the given thesaurus.

Usage

InCategory(x, category, thesaurus)

Arguments

x	Character vector to be checked for its inclusion in the category.
category	Character vector identifying the categories in which the inclusion of x will be checked. Each category can be identified by any equivalent name in the thesaurus.
