rescale_attachment_4: Rescale 4-level attachment level

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

Description

Rescale Eurobarometer 4-level attachment level, "Very attached" and "Fairly well attached" and "Not very well attached", "Not at all attached". This is a wrapper function around the rescale_categories function.

Usage

rescale_attachment_4(column, from = c("Very attached", "Fairly attached",
  "Not very attached", "Not at all attached"), to = c(2, 1, -1, -2),
  na_labels = "default", underscore = TRUE, exact_from = TRUE,
  return_class = "numeric")

Arguments

column	A column from a survey data frame where the level of informnedss is recorded.
from	Defaults "Very attached", "Fairly well attached" and "Not very well attached", "Not at all attached".
to	Defaults to c(2,1,-1,-2). If return_class = "character" or return_class = "factor" is selected it returns the abbreviated category names ("very_attached", "attached", "not_very_attached", "not_attached").
na_labels	Defaults to "default".
underscore	Defaults to TRUE in which case factor names or character strings contain underscore_between_words. This is a better approach for further programming, but you can choose FALSE for nicer printing results. See examples.
exact_from	Deafults to TRUE. If FALSE you can use the partial matching, but beware that in this case, "twenty" will be replaced by
return_class	Default is "numeric", alternatives "character" or "factor".

Examples

rescale_attachment_4  (column =
c("Very attached",
  "Fairly well attached",
  "Not very well attached",
  "Not at all attached",
  "DK", "NT/NV"),
na_labels = "default",
return_class = "character")

rescale_attachment_4  (column =
                     c("Very attached",
                     "Fairly attached",
                     "Not well attached",
                     "Not at all attached",
                     "DK", "NT/NV"),
                     na_labels = "default",
                     return_class = "numeric")
