fix_factors: fix_factors

In pfesjostrand/scbwrangler: Some functions for convenient wrangling of data from SCB (Swedish Statistics).

Description

Data in SCB .px files often comes in factors if the data is not strictly numeric. E.g years are coded as factors not integers. This at times (often) a nuisance. fix_factors change the class based on the names of the variable using a dictionary mapping class to name. The "classdictionary" can either have two colums named english (due to this function being intended to be applied after translate_names) and one called class or define which colums should be used with fr (from) and to; either by index or by column name.

Usage

fix_factors(data, classdic = "default", fr = 2, to = 3)

Arguments

data	Data frame object of which the vars are to be reclassed.
classdic	Either a path to a .csv file or a data frame object.
fr	The column in classdic where the names are found
to	The column to classdic where class mappings are found

Details

This function works but could do with a little more work...

Value

Returns a reclassed data frame
