surveydata (version 0.2.8)

Tools to Work with Survey Data

Description

Data obtained from surveys contains information not only about the survey responses, but also the survey metadata, e.g. the original survey questions and the answer options. The 'surveydata' package makes it easy to keep track of this metadata, and to easily extract columns with specific questions.
