merge_w_left: An internal function to that takes a response category found...

In jameswgriffith/jamie: Functions written and used by Jamie Griffith

Description

After sorting the response of v and putting them into a table, this function looks at the category in said table at position i and merges it with the category to the left at position i - 1.

Usage

merge_w_left(v, i)

Arguments

v	A vector of response categories.
i	An index of the to-be-collapsed category. i must range from 2 to the maximum number of response categories. For example, for response categories 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, "1" is not possible because there is no place to the left. Thus, i can be 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Value

A vector of collapsed response data.

Note

This is intended as an internal function to the collapse() function. Use with care for other purposes.
