Examples

# Example of valid data
validData <- data.frame(
  sorterID = c("resp1", "resp1", "resp1", "resp2",
   "resp2", "resp2", "resp3", "resp3", "resp3"),
  statement = c("London", "Frankfurt", "Berlin", "London",
  "Frankfurt", "Berlin", "London", "Frankfurt", "Berlin"),
  stackID = c("capital city", "city", "capital city", 1, 2, 2, "A", "B", "A")
)
checkConceptMapData(validData) # Should return TRUE

# Example of invalid data (missing columns)
invalidData <- data.frame(
  sorterID = c(1, 2),
  stackID = c(1, 2)
)
# checkConceptMapData(invalidData) # Will return False as an error
