Decode OFH Variable

Generic decoder function that routes variable decoding to either single-select or multi-select decoding based on the is_multi_select parameter.

Usage

decode_ofh_variable(
  variable,
  is_multi_select = logical(),
  code = character(),
  meaning = character()
)

Arguments

variable

A vector of coded values to be decoded

is_multi_select

Logical. If TRUE, treats the variable as multi-select (multiple values per observation). If FALSE, treats as single-select (one value per observation).

code

Character vector of coded values to be matched

meaning

Character vector of corresponding decoded meanings

Value

Character vector with decoded values. For multi-select variables, returns character strings with bracketed comma-separated values. For single-select variables, returns character vector of decoded meanings.

Details

This function serves as a dispatcher that calls the appropriate decoding function (decode_single_select or decode_multi_select) based on whether the variable represents single or multiple selections.

decode_single_select for single-select decoding decode_multi_select for multi-select decoding

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Decode a single-select variable
# codes <- c("A1", "B2", "C3")
# meanings <- c("Option A", "Option B", "Option C")
# decoded <- decode_ofh_variable(
#   variable = c("A1", "B2", "A1"),
#   is_multi_select = FALSE,
#   code = codes,
#   meaning = meanings
# )

# Decode a multi-select variable
# decoded_multi <- decode_ofh_variable(
#   variable = c("[A1,B2]", "[C3]"),
#   is_multi_select = TRUE,
#   code = codes,
#   meaning = meanings
# )
} # }
