Using custom dictionaries in labourR package #8

Closed tzoltak closed 2 years ago

tzoltak commented 3 years ago

I have a feature request: it will be great if the package enabled user to supply his/her own dictionary of names connected with each ISCO occupation.

This will be useful while applying package to survey data. On the one hand respondents' answers to questions regarding occupations are somewhat different from official names of occupations, so specific (survey) dictionary may be useful to improve quality of codding. On the other hand there is a lot of data from previous research that contain human coded mapping of respndents' answers to ISCO codes, that may be used as dictionaries.

And besides I'd like to thank you for this very useful package!

Thanks for the issue! We are looking into this case.

This is similar to spellchecking. Also, iscoCrosswalks can help with this by retrieving the codes of the suggested occupations. Then merging with the custom dictionary should be sufficient.
