Factors are a very useful type of variable in R, but they can also be very aggravating. This package provides some helper functions for the care and feeding of factors.

Installation

``` {r installation, eval = FALSE}

install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("RobbyLankford/foofactors")

## Example

Binding two factors via 'fbind()':

```r
library(foofactors)
a <- factor(c("character", "hits", "your", "eyeballs"))
b <- factor(c("but", "integer", "where it", "counts"))

Simply catenating two factors leads to a result that most don't expect.

c(a, b)

The 'fbind()' function glues to factors together and returns a factor.

fbind(a, b)

Often we want a table of frequencies for the levels of a factor. The 'fcount()' function returns a frequency table as a tibble.

set.seed(1234)
x <- factor(sample(letters[1:5], size = 100, replace = TRUE))
freq_out(x)
