#' @title Score the FACT-B

#'
#' @description
#' Generates all of the scores of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -
#' Breast Cancer (FACT-B, v4) from item responses.

#' @return A data frame with the following scale scores is returned:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \strong{PWB} - Physical Well-Being subscale
#'   \item \strong{SWB} - Social/Family Well-Being subscale
#'   \item \strong{EWB} - Emotional Well-Being subscale
#'   \item \strong{FWB} - Physical Well-Being subscale
#'   \item \strong{FACTG} - FACT-G Total Score (PWB+SWB+EWB+FWB)
#'   \item \strong{BCS} - Breast Cancer subscale
#'   \item \strong{FACT_B_TOTAL} - FACT-B Total Score (PWB+SWB+EWB+FWB+BCS)
#'   \item \strong{FACT_B_TOI} - FACT-B Trial Outcome Index (PWB+FWB+BCS)
#' }
#'
#' If \code{AConly = TRUE}, the only scale score returned is \strong{BCS}.
#'
#' If a variable was given to the \code{id} argument, then that variable will
#' also be in the returned data frame. Additional, relatively unimportant,
#' variables will be returned if \code{updateItems = TRUE} or \code{keepNvalid =
#' TRUE}.

#' ## NOW scoring the items in exampleDat
#'
#' ## Returns data frame with ONLY scale scores
#' (scoredDat <- scoreFACT_B(exampleDat))
#'
#' ## Using the id argument (makes merging with original data more fool-proof):
#' (scoredDat <- scoreFACT_B(exampleDat, id = "ID"))
#'
#' ## Merge back with original data, exampleDat:
#' mergeDat <- merge(exampleDat, scoredDat, by = "ID")
#' names(mergeDat)
#'
#' ## If ONLY the "Additional Concerns" items are in df, use AConly = TRUE
#' (scoredDat <- scoreFACT_B(exampleDat, AConly = TRUE))
#'
#' ## AConly = TRUE with an id variable
#' (scoredDat <- scoreFACT_B(exampleDat, id = "ID", AConly = TRUE))

#' ## Also illustrates effect of setting keepNvalid = TRUE.
