Codebook #203

Open dietrichstats opened 6 years ago

dietrichstats commented 6 years ago

Enhancement request

* Enhancement: Add codebook analysis * Purpose: Codebook is a type of report that delivers the output of the properties and attributes of the defined variables. This allows at a glance to see if there is any error, to see lost data, to create tables for enumerators with the coding of variable labels, to replicate database, etc.

So something like this you mean? http://www.unige.ch/ses/sococ/cl/spss/cmd/display.html

Halfway... DISPLAY DICTIONARY in SPSS shows all the dictionary information available in a file with a predetermined layout and it is not dynamic at all. I refer more to the CODEBOOK command of SPSS that can be seen here or here. So you can select which variables and information to show, creating a custom codebook.

Stata has a similar feature. R also has a function with the same purpose (See here and here)

Cool feature, I currently write that type of reports manually, so it would save me a lot of time to do more important things.

@dietrichstats @haevalencia Just adding up to date infos and links to this

So this is about the R-Packages

"Codebook reports the dictionary information -- such as variable names, variable labels, value labels, missing values -- and summary statistics for all or specified variables and multiple response sets in the active dataset." https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spss-statistics/29.0.0?topic=features-codebook

So all this information you would currently get in JASP, when you enter data edit mode and go through the variables settings and their labels. And then add frequency tables for all variables via the descriptives module to see missings etc. to get a nice overview of all your vars.

This is indeed helpful for projects with lots of vars and used by most of my students for their theses etc. Maybe this could fit under "save as" => "Metadata as Codebook"
