sjmisc - Data and Variable Transformation Functions

Collection of miscellaneous utility functions, supporting data transformation tasks like recoding, dichotomizing or grouping variables, setting and replacing missing values. The data transformation functions also support labelled data.

The functions of sjmisc are designed to work together seamlessly with other packes from the tidyverse, like dplyr. For instance, you can use the functions from sjmisc both within a pipe-worklflow to manipulate data frames, or to create new variables with mutate(). See vignette("design_philosophy", "sjmisc") for more details.
