| Description: | Survey systems and other third-party data sources commonly use non-standard representations of logical values when it comes to qualitative data - "Yes", "No" and "N/A", say. batman is a package designed to seamlessly convert these into logicals. It is highly localised, and contains equivalents to boolean values in languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Chinese and Polish. |

Convert categorical representations of logicals to actual logicals
Description
Survey systems and other third-party data sources commonly use non-standard representations of logical values when it comes to qualitative data - "Yes", "No" and "N/A", say. batman is a package designed to seamlessly convert these into actual logical values.

to_logical
TRUE/FALSE equivalents in categorical data for various languages
Description
A dataset containing the equivalents of TRUE or FALSE in categorical or user-submitted data, localised to various languages
Usage
categorical_booleans
Format
A list of named lists, each one containing two columns:
- true
a character vector of equivalents to TRUE
- false
a character vector of equivalents to FALSE
See Also
to_logical, which uses this dataset, and
get_languages to see what languages are available.
Get language codes for batman-supported languages
Description
retrieves a list of language codes for languages
supported by the language parameter in to_logical.
Usage
get_languages()
See Also
categorical_booleans, the underlying dataset,
or to_logical, which uses that dataset.
Examples
get_languages()

Convert categorical representations of true/false values to a logical
Description
to_logical is designed for the situation where you have categorical data
(perhaps from a survey, or direct user input) that represents TRUE/FALSE values as something
other than TRUE/FALSE - "Yes", "No", "None", "Y" or "False", say. With to_logical
you can easily convert a vector of these values into an actual, logical vector, using
either a predefined set of accepted TRUE or FALSE equivalents, or a set you specify
yourself.
Usage
to_logical(x, language = "en", custom_true = character(),
custom_false = character())
Arguments
x |
a vector of categorical TRUE/FALSE/NA values. |
language |
the language to use. See |
custom_true |
a vector of values to consider, in addition to the ones
|
custom_false |
a vector of values to consider, in addition to the ones
|
Examples
# A very simple example using the pre-known true and false equivalents
categorical_values <- c("true","t","y","yes","f","no","1")
to_logical(categorical_values)
# Use a custom specifier
categorical_values <- c("NA","NA","NA","NA","NA","NA","NA","NA","Batman")
to_logical(categorical_values, custom_true = c("Batman"))
