translate: Translate between classifications.

In StatisticsNZ/classconc: Concordances between Classifications

Description

Translate between classifications, based on a concordance.

Usage

translate(object, concordance, to = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,ManyToOne,missing'
translate(object, concordance)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,ManyToOne,ANY'
translate(object, concordance, to)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,OneToOne,ANY'
translate(object, concordance, to = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,OneToOne,'NULL''
translate(object, concordance, to = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,OneToOne,missing'
translate(object, concordance)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,data.frame,ANY'
translate(object, concordance, to = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,matrix,ANY'
translate(object, concordance, to = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	A character vector.
concordance	An object of class Concordance.
to	Name of classification within concordance that codes from object should be translated to.
...	Not currently used.

Details

If concordance is ManyToOne, then object must be the 'many' part, and argument to is not required. If concordance is OneToOne, and to is not supplied, translate guess, based on the values in object.

Value

A character vector, the same length as object.

Examples

conc <- data.frame(code = 1:3,
                   descriptor = c("North Island", "South Island",
                                   "Stewart Island"))
conc <- Concordance(conc)
conc
translate(c("1", "3", "1", "2"),
          concordance = conc)
translate(c("Stewart Island", "North Island"),
          concordance = conc)


codes(conc, classification = "code")
codes(conc, classification = "descriptor")

conc <- data.frame(sex1 = c("girl", "boy", "woman", "man"),
                   sex2 = c("female", "male"))
conc <- Concordance(conc)
conc
translate(c("man", "girl"), concordance = conc)
## Not run: 
translate(c("female", "male"), concordance = conc)

## End(Not run)
