rescale_low_strong_4: Rescale low-strong level Eurobarometer questions

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

Description

Rescale the standard Eurobarometer low-strong variable(s) with categories "Not at all", "Low", "Medium", "Strong". This is a wrapper function around the rescale_categories function.

Usage

rescale_low_strong_4(column, from = c("Not at all", "Low", "Medium",
  "Strong"), to = c(0, 1, 2, 3), na_labels = "DK", exact_from = TRUE,
  return_class = "numeric", underscore = TRUE)

Arguments

column	A column from a survey data frame where intensity is measured.
from	Defaults to c("Not at all", "Low", "Medium", "Strong").
to	Defaults to c(0,1,2,3). If return_class = "character" or return_class = "factor" is selected it returns the abbreviated category names c("none", "low", "medium", "strong").
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_low_strong_4 (column =
                        c("DK",
                          "Not at all",
                          "Low",
                          "Medium",
                          "Strong"),
                      underscore = FALSE,
                      return_class = "character")

 rescale_low_strong_4 (column =
                        c("DK",
                          "Not at all",
                          "Low",
                          "Medium",
                          "Strong"),
                      return_class = "numeric")
