Create Variable from Codelist
Description
This functions uses code/decode pairs from a metacore object to create new variables in the data
Usage
create_var_from_codelist(
data,
metacore,
input_var,
out_var,
decode_to_code = TRUE
)
Arguments
data |
Dataset that contains the input variable |
metacore |
A metacore object to get the codelist from. If the 'out_var' has different codelists for different datasets the metacore object will need to be subsetted using 'select_dataset' from the metacore package. |
input_var |
Name of the variable that will be translated for the new column |
out_var |
Name of the output variable. Note: the grouping will always be from the code of the codelist associates with 'out_var' |
decode_to_code |
Direction of the translation. By default assumes the 'input_var' is the decode column of the codelist. Set to 'FALSE' if the 'input_var' is the code column of the codelist |
Value
Dataset with a new column added
Examples
library(metacore)
library(tibble)
data <- tribble(
~USUBJID, ~VAR1, ~VAR2,
1, "M", "Male",
2, "F", "Female",
3, "F", "Female",
4, "U", "Unknown",
5, "M", "Male",
)
spec <- spec_to_metacore(metacore_example("p21_mock.xlsx"), quiet = TRUE)
create_var_from_codelist(data, spec, VAR2, SEX)
create_var_from_codelist(data, spec, "VAR2", "SEX")
create_var_from_codelist(data, spec, VAR1, SEX, decode_to_code = FALSE)
