Convert "yes" and "no" to 1 and 0

This function takes a vector and converts all instances of "yes" to 1, "no" to 0, and leaves other values as NA. It's useful for converting categorical "yes"/"no" responses into a numeric format that can be used in statistical analysis.

Usage

tar_yes_no(x)

Arguments

x

A vector containing elements to be converted. Elements should be character strings potentially including "yes" and "no".

Value

A numeric vector where "yes" is replaced with 1, "no" with 0, and other values with NA.

Examples

test_vector <- c("yes", "no", "maybe", "yes", "no")
tar_yes_no(test_vector)
#> [1]  1  0 NA  1  0
