For each categorical variable, value lists should be defined in the metadata. This implementation will examine, if all observed levels in the study data are valid.
con_inadmissible_categorical(
resp_vars = NULL,
study_data,

)variable list the name of the measurement variables
data.frame the data frame that contains the measurements
data.frame the data frame that contains metadata attributes of study data

numeric from=0 to=100. a numerical value ranging from 0-100. Not yet implemented.
a list with:
SummaryTable: data frame summarizing inadmissible categories with the
columns:
Variables: variable name/label
OBSERVED_CATEGORIES: the categories observed in the study data
DEFINED_CATEGORIES: the categories defined in the metadata
NON_MATCHING: the categories observed but not defined
NON_MATCHING_N: the number of observations with categories not defined
GRADING: indicator TRUE/FALSE if inadmissible categorical values were
observed
ModifiedStudyData: study data having inadmissible categories removed
FlaggedStudyData: study data having cases with inadmissible categories
flagged
Remove missing codes from the study data (if defined in the metadata)
Interpretation of variable specific VALUE_LABELS as supplied in the metadata.
Identification of measurements not corresponding to the expected categories. Therefore two output data frames are generated:
on the level of observation to flag each undefined category, and
a summary table for each variable.
Values not corresponding to defined categories are removed in a data frame of modified study data
