survey_suppress_small_numbers: Suppress small groups in data

In DataS-DHSC/consultations: Re-usable functions for describing the responses to a public consultation or call for evidence

Description

Replaces values that appear fewer than min_n times with "Other (Aggregated)". This ensures that in later summaries, these answers are grouped together. This serves to help prevent statistical disclosure. However, continue to check your outputs for small cells and aggregate up where necessary.

Usage

survey_suppress_small_numbers(column, min_n = 10)

Arguments

column	vector of values to modify
min_n	minimum group size to keep

Value

vector of values with rare values replaced

Examples

survey_suppress_small_numbers(c(rep("test", 15), rep("test2", 5), NA), min_n = 10)
