data(efc)
str(efc$e42dep)

x <- as_labelled(efc$e42dep)
str(x)
summary(x)

x <- as_labelled(efc$e42dep, add.class = TRUE)
str(x)
summary(x)

a <- c(1, 2, 4)
x <- as_labelled(a, add.class = TRUE)
str(x)
summary(x)

data(efc)
x <- set_labels(efc$e42dep, c(`1` = "independent",
                              `4` = "severe dependency"))
x1 <- as_labelled(x, add.labels = FALSE)
x2 <- as_labelled(x, add.labels = TRUE)

str(x1)
str(x2)
