hR (version 0.2.50)

hierarchy: hierarchy

Description

The hierarchy function transforms a standard set of unique employee and supervisor identifiers (employee IDs, email addresses, etc.) into a wide or elongated format that can be used to aggregate employee data by a particular line of leadership (i.e. include everyone who rolls up to Susan).

Usage

hierarchy(ee, supv, format = "long", descending = TRUE)

Arguments

ee

A vector containing unique identifiers for employees.

supv

A vector containing unique identifiers for supervisors. These values should be of the same type as the employee values.

format

character string; either "long" or "wide"; default = "long".

descending

logical; default = TRUE. Should the hierarchy levels be descending (i.e. the top person in the hierarchy is represented at level 1)?

Value

data table

Examples

# NOT RUN {
ee = c("[e-mail]","[e-mail]","[e-mail]","[e-mail]")
supv = c("[e-mail]","[e-mail]","[e-mail]","[e-mail]")
hierarchy(ee,supv,format="long",descending=TRUE)
# }
