Hello,
I have a dataset which I am calling RB09.
I am trying to match the questions in the code book with variable codes.
It is not very intuitive.
example:
names(RB09)
[1] "ea1" "eaf1" "eaf1a" "eaf2" "eaf2_7"
[6] "eaf3" "eafimpun" "eafunpun" "evimpmar" "evfutpro"
[11] "ecjoh" "eaf4a" "eaf5" "eaf6a" "eaf6b"
[16] "eaf6c" "eaf6d" "eaf6e" "eaf7a" "eaf7b"
(there are over 800 of these)
questions looks like this:
B16a. Most people in this country
Trusts
Neutral
Does not trust
however, there is no variable B16a. there is one that is "ssb16a" but as you can see:
> levels(RB09$ss16a)
[1] "yes" "no" "dont know" "na" "dk"
The levels are not the same. SO I don't think this is correctly matched.
Is there an easy way to find out what -for example- which question "eaf6c"
goes to?
Also, I know there is a way to search key words and find the variables which match. I have done this before and can't find the code.
Any direction would help. Thanks.
