Wide to condensed

Description

Convert from wide format to condensed format based on the prefix for each set of linked values across multiple columns.

Usage

wide_to_condensed(
  data,
  column_stem,
  value_sep = ";",
  name_sep = "_",
  readable = TRUE
)

Arguments

data	A dataframe containing rows of systematic review data in wide format.
column_stem	A set of column descriptors signifying the groups of columns to condense based on a common stem (e.g. 'hazard' represents 'hazard_low', 'hazard_moderate', and 'hazard_high').
value_sep	A character used to separate values within the data. The default is set to ';'.
name_sep	A character used to separate terms in the newly generated column names within the data. The default is set to '_' (i.e. snake_case).
readable	Logical argument (TRUE or FALSE) specifying whether the value separator should be followed by a space to improve readability (e.g. '; ' instead of ';'). The default is set to 'readable = TRUE'.

Value

A dataframe in 'condensed' format.
