R Documentation

Expand a single category into multiple categories.

Description

Using a ManyToOne concordance, expand the categories used by one or more dimensions of a demographic array.

Usage

expandCategories(
  object,
  dimension = NULL,
  old,
  new,
  concordance,
  weights = NULL,
  means = FALSE,
  n = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'Counts,ANY,missing,missing,ManyToOne'
expandCategories(
  object,
  dimension,
  concordance,
  weights = NULL,
  means = FALSE,
  n = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'Values,ANY,ANY,ANY,missing'
expandCategories(object, dimension, old, new, weights)

## S4 method for signature 'Values,ANY,missing,missing,ManyToOne'
expandCategories(object, dimension, concordance, weights)

Arguments

`object`	Object of class `DemographicArray`.
`dimension`	Character or numeric vector giving the name or index of the dimension where the categories are found - or names or indices if more than one dimension is being changed.
`old`	Character vector of length 1 containing the name of the category to be expanded.
`new`	Character vector giving the names of the new categories.
`concordance`	Object of class `"ManyToOne"`.
`weights`	Object of class `Counts`.
`means`	If `FALSE` (the default) the allocation is done randomly; if `TRUE`, values are set equal to their means.
`n`	Number of iterations to generate. Ignored if `counts` or `weights` has a dimension with `dimtype` `"iteration"`.
