recoded vector

Details

When using factors to recode data there tends to be issues with values being dropped if not specified in levels. Recode.vector gets around that.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
a <- c(letters, NA);
b <- list(abc = c("a","b","c"), missing = NA);
d <- recode.vector(x = a, lookup = b)

# }
