In StatisticsNZ/dembase: Analysing Cross-Classified Data about Populations

Description

Using a ManyToOne concordance, expand the categories used by one or more dimensions of a demographic array.

Usage

expandCategories(
  object,
  dimension = NULL,
  old,
  new,
  concordance,
  weights = NULL,
  means = FALSE,
  n = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'Counts,ANY,missing,missing,ManyToOne'
expandCategories(
  object,
  dimension,
  concordance,
  weights = NULL,
  means = FALSE,
  n = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'Values,ANY,ANY,ANY,missing'
expandCategories(object, dimension, old, new, weights)

## S4 method for signature 'Values,ANY,missing,missing,ManyToOne'
expandCategories(object, dimension, concordance, weights)

Arguments

object	Object of class DemographicArray.
dimension	Character or numeric vector giving the name or index of the dimension where the categories are found - or names or indices if more than one dimension is being changed.
old	Character vector of length 1 containing the name of the category to be expanded.
new	Character vector giving the names of the new categories.
concordance	Object of class "ManyToOne".
weights	Object of class Counts.
means	If FALSE (the default) the allocation is done randomly; if TRUE, values are set equal to their means.
n	Number of iterations to generate. Ignored if counts or weights has a dimension with dimtype "iteration".
