find_fuzzymatch: Find fuzzymatch for variety using stringdist using methods...

In IdahoAgStats/factcuratoR: Functions to curate FACT data

Find fuzzymatch for variety using stringdist using methods "lv" and "jw"

Description

Note: This function returns the fuzzymatches from stringdist.variety() and then places stricter requirements on variety names that end in a number with greater than one digit (e.g. the ending number must be an exact match with a string of numbers in the fuzzymatch). This requirement is to limit the number of close matches for numeric variety names. Because of this condition, must be careful when generating var_id from the raw names to remove any trailing digits that have no meaning (e.g. +25% refers to seed increase and not to a cultivar name)

Usage

find_fuzzymatch(
  var_noexactmatch,
  data_name,
  intid_col,
  select_before = Sys.Date(),
  select_crops = NULL,
  knitroutputfolder = knitroutputfolder,
  db_folder
)

Arguments

var_noexactmatch	A data.frame of the varieties without exact matches - the data.frame should contain a column for variety and internal id (intid)
data_name	A string denoting the name of the dataset
intid_col	A string denoting the name of the internal id column used to join the raw data and database
select_before	A string in the format of Ymd. The function returns cultivars that were added to the datebase before this specified date.
select_crops	A regular expression of crops separated by |. Note that this regex will filter on the crop column rather than crop_type. For example, there are entries in the wheat file with crop Triticale, so to capture both the input should be select_crops = "wheat|triticale".
knitroutputfolder	A folder path to send output
db_folder	A string path to the database controlled vocabulary folder
