rescale_informed_4: Rescale 4-level informedness level

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

Description

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

Usage

rescale_informed_4(column, from = c("Very well informed",
  "Fairly well informed", "Not very well informed", "Not at all informed"),
  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 well informed", "Fairly well informed" and "Not very well informed", "Not at all informed".
to	Defaults to c(2,1,-1,-2). If return_class = "character" or return_class = "factor" is selected it returns the abbreviated category names c("very_informed", "informed", "not_well_informed", "not_informed").
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_optimism_4  (column =
c("Very well informed",
  "Fairly well informed",
  "Not very well informed",
  "Not at all informed",
  "DK", "NT/NV"),
na_labels = "default",
return_class = "character")

rescale_optimism_4  (column =
                     c("Very well informed",
                     "Fairly well informed",
                     "Not very well informed",
                     "Not at all informed",
                     "DK", "NT/NV"),
                     na_labels = "default",
                     return_class = "numeric")
