Transforming a mapping (transition) table to two associative lists

Description

to rearrange the one classification encoding into another, an associative list that maps keys to values is used. More precisely, an association list is used which is a linked list in which each list element consists of a key and value or values. An association list where unique categories codes are keys and matching categories from next or previous time point are values. A mapping (transition) table is used to build such associative lists.

Usage

get_mappings(x = data.frame())

Arguments

x

'data.frame' or 'matrix' - mapping (transition) table with 2 columns where first column is assumed to be the older encoding.

Value

a list with 2 named lists 'to_old' and 'to_new'.

Examples

data("trans", package = "cat2cat")

mappings <- get_mappings(trans)
mappings$to_old[1:4]
mappings$to_new[1:4]
