moderate_more: Moderate the value of "more" or similar

In antaldaniel/surveyreader: Data cleaning and integration for survey files

Description

When numeric answer options have a "more" value, it substitutes more with the largest explicit number, or the largest explicit number multiplied by an increase factor. If the increase factor is less than 1.0 it can be used to moderate the smallest value for "less" or similar statements among numeric answers.

Usage

moderate_more(x, moderate = 999, increase = 1, rounding = 0)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector where "more" or other values have to be replaced.
moderate	The threshold to start moderation.
increase	Do you want to increase/decrease the last explicit value? Defaults to 1.0. If max(x)=100 and set to increase = 1.2 than the replacement value will be 120.
rounding	Should the increased/decreased values be rounded? Defaults to rounding to nearest integer value with rouding = 0 digits.

Examples

raw_column <- c("12", "20", "3", "more")
raw_column <- ifelse ( raw_column == "more",
                       yes = "999",
                       no = raw_column )

raw_column <- as.numeric ( raw_column )

moderate_more ( x = raw_column,
                moderate = 999,
                increase = 1.0,
                rounding = 0 )

moderate_more ( x = raw_column,
                moderate = 999,
                increase = 1.26,
                rounding = 1)
