coding {rcoder}

Catalog the categorical data representation in a vector

Description

A 'coding' object holds a list of 'code's that map vector values to human readable labels. An abstraction of factors, this data structure is designed to be portable and not directly attached to the underlying data. Moreover, 'coding' objects can be "linked" for recoding and data lineage purposes. An "empty coding" is used to represent data that has no categorical interpretation.

Usage

coding(..., .label = NULL)

empty_coding()

Arguments

...

A collection of 'code' objects

.label

A label for this coding, available for interoperability

Value

A 'coding' object that contains each 'code' input

Examples

coding(code("Yes", 1), code("No", 0), code("Not applicable", NA))
empty_coding()
