getCovariateMap: Make Covariate Map

In StoXProject/RstoxFDA: Fisheries Dependent Analysis with RstoX

Make Covariate Map

Description

Constructs a covariate map for R-ECA

Usage

getCovariateMap(covariate, samples, landings)

Arguments

covariate	character() name of covariate to make map for
samples	data.table() the samples the covariate mapping should be defined for (must contain column specified by 'covariate')
landings	data.table() the landings the covariate mapping should be defined for (may contain column specified by 'covariate')

Details

RECA require all covariate to be formatted as integers. In order to maintain connection to other formats for the covariates, they should be converted back and forth with a pre-defined covariate map

Value

list() where the nth member represents the RECA covariate value 'n', so that for a covarate 'cov', the integer i is used for value a, when covariateMaps[[cov]][[i]] == a

Examples

 data(catchsamples)
 data(landings)
 catchsamples$Metier5 <- catchsamples$LEmetier5
 landings$Metier5 <- landings$FishingActivityCategoryEuropeanLvl5
 getCovariateMap("Metier5", catchsamples, landings)
