Hi All, I am using R for social sciences. In this field I am used to use short variable names like "q1" for question 1, "q2" for question 2 and so on and label the variables like q1 : "Please tell us your age" or q2 : "Could you state us your household income?" or something similar indicating which question is stored in the variable.
Similar I am used to label values like 1: "Less than 18 years", 2 : "18 to 30 years", 3 : "31 to 60 years" and 4 : "61 years and more". I know that the packages Hmisc and memisc have a functionality for this but these labeling functions are limited to the packages they were defined for. Using the question tests as variable names is possible but very inconvenient. I there another way for labeling variables and values in R?
