benefitToCostAttr: Converts benefit type attributes to cost type, within a list

In avilesd/productConfig: Tools to analyze behavioral patterns from Product Configurators

Description

Converts benefit type attributes to cost type, within a list

Usage

benefitToCostAttr(dataset, aList, cost_ids = NULL)

Arguments

dataset	a data.frame with the user generated data from a product configurator. See Details of decisionMatrix for more information about which data should included in this argument.
aList	a List with decision matrices as elements. Within each decision matrix, the columns are attributes from a product configurator. Using cost_ids the cost type attribtues are identified and transformed from benefit to cost attributes. Cost attributes are product characteristics for which a lower value means a higher 'utility', e.g. price.
cost_ids	argument used to convert selected cost attributes into benefit attributes. Integer vector. Cost type attributes have the characteristic, that a lower value means the user is better off than with a higher value. E.g. price is often considered a cost type attribute. Should be equal to attr input or a subset of it.

Value

the same list as aList with converted cost attribtues
