Control radiocarbon laboratory identifiers

Source: R/lab_id.R
c14_control_lab_id.Rd

Standardises a vector of radiocarbon laboratory identifiers to a common format. Specifically, this c14_control_lab_id():

  1. Fixes malformed identifiers with c14_fix_lab_id()

  2. Parses the lab code and lab number components (c14_parse_lab_id())

  3. Standardises lab codes against a thesaurus, by default c14_lab_code_thesaurus

  4. Reunites lab codes and numbers with a uniform seperator (default: "-")

Usage

c14_control_lab_id(
  x,
  thesaurus = c14_lab_code_thesaurus,
  sep = "-",
  quiet = FALSE,
  warn_unmatched = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

Vector of radiocarbon laboratory identifiers.

thesaurus

Thesaurus to use for lab codes. Defaults to the c14_lab_code_thesaurus thesaraus included in the package.

sep

quiet

Passed to controller::control(). Set to TRUE to suppress messages about replaced values. Default: FALSE.

warn_unmatched

Passed to controller::control(). Set to FALSE to suppress warnings about unmatched values. Default: TRUE.

Value

Vector the same length as x with controlled laboratory identifiers.

Examples

c14_control_lab_id(c("OxA-1234", "OxA 1234", "Oxa 1234"))
#> Replaced values:
#> ℹ Oxa → OxA
#> [1] "OxA-1234" "OxA-1234" "OxA-1234"
