Checks pairs of Variables for a nested relationship

Description

Given two variable names and a data.table, checks if the inner_term is nested in the outer_term, meaning that each level of inner_term is paired with at most 1 level of outer_term. Each level of outer_term may be paired with multiple levels of inner_term.

Usage

is_nested(outer_term, inner_term, data = NULL)

Arguments

outer_term	Term expected to be at the higher level
inner_term	Term that may be nested in outer_term
data	data.frame with columns (minimally) outer_term and inner_term
