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

Description Usage Arguments Examples

Rescale the standard Eurobarometer situation variable(s) with categories "Very good", "Rather good", "Rather bad", "Very bad". This is a wrapper function around the rescale_categories function.

rescale_situation(column, from = c("Very good", "Rather good", "Rather bad",
  "Very bad"), to = c(2, 1, -1, -2), na_labels = "DK", exact_from = TRUE,
  return_class = "numeric", underscore = TRUE)

`column`	A column from a survey data frame where the situtation is recorded with four categories.
`from`	Defaults to `c("Very good", "Fairly good", "Rather bad", "Very bad")`.
`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_good", "rather_good", "rather_bad", "very_bad")`.
`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.
