replace_values: Replace multiple unique elements with multiple unique...

In seaaan/easieR: Functions to make R easier

Description

Replace multiple unique elements with multiple unique replacements.

Usage

replace_values(vector, values, replacements, warn = TRUE)

Arguments

vector	Vector to make replacements in.
values	Values to be replaced (vector of same length as replacements).
replacements	Values to replace matches with (vector of same length as values).
warn	Logical indicating whether to issue a warning message if no element is replaced.

Value

Vector with elements in values replaced with the corresponding elements from replacements.

Every element in values will be searched for in vector. If it is found, it will be replaced in vector with the corresponding element of replacements. That is, if the 3rd element of values is found anywhere in vector, it will be replaced by the 3rd element of replacements.

Note that factors will be releveled with the replacement values and levels no longer present in the factor may be lost.

Examples

replace_values(
   vector = c("WA", "WY", "OR", "NY", "NY", "WA", "FL", "OR"),
   values = c("FL", "NY", "OR", "WA", "WY"),
   replacements = c("Florida", "New York", "Oregon", "Washington", "Wyoming"))
replace_values(
   vector = c("M", "F", "F", "M", "F", "M", "F", "M", "M", "M", "F", "F"),
   values = c("F", "M"),
   replacements = c("Female", "Male"))
