questionProperties: The questionPropeties object

In wmurphyrd/monkeywrangler: Read, Summarize, and Visualize results from SurveyMonkey surveys

Description

Question properties are automatically generated when a survey is parsed with loadSurveyMonkeyXLS, so you will not likely need to call this function directly. However, it's structure is documented here for reference.

Usage

questionProperties(questionId, question, type, subgroups, responses)

Arguments

questionId	Integer vector of unique question identifiers
question	Factor of the text of survey questions
type	Factor describing the format of the question
