Given a vector of cohort labels, create a
factor
that contains levels for all cohorts
defined by breaks
. format_cohort_custom
is the most flexible
of the format_cohort
functions
in that the cohorts can have any combination of widths.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | format_cohort_custom(

x |
A vector of cohort labels. |
breaks |
A vector of strictly increasing integer values. |
open_first |
Whether the oldest cohort has no lower limit. |
month_start |
An element of |
label_year_start |
Logical. Whether to label a cohort
by the calendar year at the beginning of the cohort
or the calendar year at the end. Defaults to |
label_open_multi |
Whether intervals that are open on the left should be interpreted as multi-year or single-year labels. |
The elements of x
must be
multi-year labels such as "1950-1960"
and
"2020-2025"
, or labels for intervals
that are open on the left, such as "<2000"
and <"1960"
.
open_first
defaults to TRUE
if any of the intervals in x
is open,
and to FALSE
otherwise.
If breaks
has length 0, then
open_first
must be FALSE
.
If breaks
has length 1, then
open_first
must be TRUE
.
If x
contains NA
, then the
levels of the factor created by format_cohort_custom
also contain NA
.
There is a combination of settings that make an open
interval such as "<2010"
ambiguous.
The settings are
x
contains a mix of single-year labels
such as "2018"
and multi-year labels such as
"2020-2025"
month_start
is not January.
label_year_start
is FALSE
.
With these settings, it is unclear whether "<2010"
should be treated as a type of single-year label,
in which case it refers to the period before
"2009-<month_start>-01"
, or as a type of
multi-year label, in which case it refers to the
period before "2010-<month_start>-01"
.
Supplying a value for label_open_multi
removes the ambiguity.
When label_open_multi
is TRUE
,
open intervals
interpreted as a type of multi-year label,
and when label_open_multi
is FALSE
they
open intervals' are interpreted as
a type of single-year label.
A factor with the same length as
x
.
Other functions for reformating cohort labels are
format_cohort_year
format_cohort_multi
format_cohort_quarter
format_cohort_month
date_to_cohort_year
calculates
cohorts from dates.
