In stasvlasov/nstandr: Name Standardization in R

Standardizes strings using exact procedures described in Magerman et al. 2009.

Description

Standardizes strings using exact procedures described in Magerman et al. 2009.

Usage

standardize_magerman(
  x,
  detect_legal_form = FALSE,
  append_output_copy_before_common_words_removal = FALSE,
  condense_words = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	table or vector
detect_legal_form	Whether to detect legal forms. Default is FALSE
append_output_copy_before_common_words_removal	Whether to save standardized column before common.words.removal procedure. Default is FALSE
condense_words	Whether to remove all spaces in standard names
...	Arguments passed on to standardize procedures The procedures that basically comprise the standardization algorithm are specified as a list of either (1) names of procedures function as character strings or as (2) calls where you can provide optional arguments or (3) nested lists that allow user to group procedures. Nesting lists of procedures has an effect on standardization progress reporting and on visualizing algorithms with nstandr_plot. Technically nested lists are equivalent to plain list of procedures as it should produce same results. Names of the list elements are used for progress messages. For unnamed elements the name of procedure's function will be used for standardization progress reporting. Default is nstandr:::nstandr_default_procedures_list. show_progress Whether to report progress percentage. Default is TRUE nrows_min_to_show_progress The minimum number of rows the x should have for automatic progress estimation. If x has less rows no progress will be shown. Default is 10^5 progress_step_nrows If set it will divide the x into chunk of this amount of rows. Default is NULL. progress_step_in_percent Number of percents that represent one step in progress. Value should be between 0.1 and 50. Default is 1 which means it will try to chunk the x into 100 pieces. progress_message_use_names Should we use names from procedures list to report progress. Default is TRUE. quite Suppress all messages. Default is FALSE. save_intermediate_x_to_var For debuging of standartization procedures. Saves intermediate results to this variable. If procedures finish without errors then the variable will be removed.
