Perform tongfen according to correspondence

Description

\lifecycle

maturing

Aggregate variables secified in meta for several datasets according to correspondence.

Usage

tongfen_aggregate(data, correspondence, meta = NULL, base_geo = NULL)

Arguments

data	list of datasets to be aggregated
correspondence	correspondence data for gluing up the datasets
meta	metadata containing aggregation rules as for example returned by 'meta_for_ca_census_vectors'
base_geo	identifier for which data element to base the final geography on, uses the first data element if 'NULL' (default), expects that 'base_geo' is an element of 'names(data)'.

Value

aggregated dataset of class sf if base_geo is not NULL and data is of type sf or tibble otherwise.

Examples

# aggregate census tract level 2006 population data on common gepgraphy build through
# correspondence from 2006 and 2016 census tracts in the City of Vancouver.
