decode_state: Convert State Codes to Full Names

In jamisoncrawford/panthr: Streamlining Preprocessing Tasks with GSU Data

Description

decode_state converts state code fields into full-length names by evaluating a scalar or vector of values of class character.

Usage

decode_state(code)

Arguments

code	A scalar or vector of length n and class character containing one or more attribute codes.

Details

Output may be made categorical using function factor or as.factor. This function also allows for easily tallying counts using, e.g., function table.

Values containing unrecognized state codes are coerced to NA (missing) values and a warning message is thrown.

Value

A scalar or vector of values of class character containing full-length state names. Missing values are preserved.
