rescale_likely_4: Rescale likelihood level Eurobarometer questions

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

Description

Rescale the standard Eurobarometer likelihood variable(s) with categories "Very likely", "Fairly likely", "Not very likely", "Not at all likely". This is a wrapper function around the rescale_categories function.

Usage

rescale_likely_4(column, from = c("Very likely", "Fairly likely",
  "Not very likely", "Not at all likely"), to = c(2, 1, -1, -2),
  na_labels = "DK", exact_from = TRUE, return_class = "numeric",
  underscore = TRUE)

Arguments

column	A column from a survey data frame where likelihood is measured.
from	Defaults to c("Very likely", "Fairly likely", "Not very likely", "Not at all likely").
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_likely", "fairly_likely", "not_very_likely", "not_at_all_likely").
na_labels	Defaults to c("DK").
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".
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.

Examples

rescale_likely_4 (column =
                        c("DK",
                          "Very likely",
                          "Fairly likely",
                          "Not very likely",
                          "Not at all likely"),
                      underscore = FALSE,
                      return_class = "character")

 rescale_likely_4 (column =
                        c("DK",
                          "Very likely",
                          "Fairly likely",
                          "Not very likely",
                          "Not at all likely"),
                      return_class = "numeric")
