fix_region: Fix Region Names

Description

Correct any misspelt names of administrative regions i.e. States and LGAs

Usage

fix_region(x, ...)
# S3 method for states
fix_region(x, ...)
# S3 method for lgas
fix_region(x, interactive = FALSE, quietly = FALSE, graphic = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for default
fix_region(x, ...)

Value

The transformed object. If all names are correct, the object is returned unchanged.

Arguments

x

An S3 object of class states or lgas. For fix_region.default, a character vector (or an object coercible to one) can be passed but only that for 'States' will be interpretable.

...

Arguments passed to methods.

interactive

Logical. When TRUE, the function prompts the user to interactively select the correct LGA names from a list of available options.

quietly

Logical; default argument is FALSE.

graphic

Whether to make use of native GUI elements (on Windows only).

Details

The function will look through a character vector and try to determine if State or LGA names have been wrongly entered. This presupposes that the atomic vector is of type character. It does not test any missing values in the vector, leaving them untouched.

Examples

try(fix_region("Owerri north")) # ERROR
fix_region(c("Owerri north", "Owerri West"))
