cm_time2long: Transform Codes to Start-End Times

In trinker/qdap2: Bridging the gap between qualitative data and quantitative analysis

Description

Transforms the range coding structure(s) from cm_time.temp (in list format) into a data frame of start and end times in long format.

Usage

  cm_time2long(..., v.name = "variable", list.var = TRUE,
    start.end = FALSE, debug = TRUE)

Arguments

...	List object(s) in the form generated by cm_time.temp.
v.name	An optional name for the column created for the list.var argument
list.var	logical. If TRUE creates a column for the data frame created by each time.list passed to cm_t2l.
start.end	logical. If TRUE outputs stop and end times for each cm_time.temp list object.
debug	logical. If TRUE debugging mode is on. cm_time2long will return possible errors in time span inputs.

Value

Generates a dataframe of start and end times for each code.
