Description

Formats the output of metavariable_info for easier interpretation of each metavariable's descendant variables

Usage

metavariable_variable_descendants(metavariable_info_output)

Arguments

metavariable_info_output

Output tibble of metavariable_info

Details

Not part of the standard semantic enrichment pipeline as this function just produces a simplified version of the output of metavariable_info.

The output of metavariable_info is converted to a tibble, filtered to only include metavariables with highest information content for the variable set. The tibble has three columns describing a metavariable, its information content, and its descendant variables.

Value

A tibble describing each metavariable, its information content, and its descendant variables

metavariable_variable_descendants(mv_info)
