other_rm: Auto change "Other please specify"s into "Other"

In nick-moffitt/orderlabel: Order Your Tables and Add Percent Labels

Auto change "Other please specify"s into "Other"

Description

Takes a dataframe (frequencies) and replaces the usual variations of "Other please specify" into Other. Also standardizes "None of the above" and "Prefer not to say" options. Additionally, removes all extra text after parentheses opening. Does this for the 'label', 'variable', and 'group_var' vars.

Usage

other_rm(dataset, var = NULL, remove = FALSE)

Arguments

dataset	The name of the data frame for the function to modify, usually piped in after running freqs. You almost never need any arguments in this function.
var	DEFAULT = NULL; If kept at NULL, it will already remove parenthetical text in 'label', 'variable', and 'group_var' vars. You can add an additional variable by specifying it here.
remove	DEFAULT = FALSE; If set to TRUE, will remove categories of "Other" and "None of the above" from the frequencies

Examples

frequencies <- tibble::tibble(
  label = c(
  'Brand 1',
  'Brand 2',
  'Brand 3',
  'Other (please specify)',
  'None of the above brands...'
  ),
  result = c(.25, .15, .20, .10, .30),
  other_var = c('x', 'y', 'z', 'z (test)', 'None')
)

frequencies %>% other_rm(remove = TRUE)
frequencies %>% other_rm(var = other_var)
