Pivot HoNOS data from wide to long

THis functions transforms HoNOS data from wide (i.e., one row per assessment, one column per variable) to long (i.e., one row per item) data. This data format is needed to perform common calculations and visualisations of HoNOS data in R. This function automatically replaces the value 9 with a missing value ('NA').

pivot_honos_longer(
  data,
  value_vars_current,
  prob_var_item8,
  spec_var_item8,
  value_vars_history,
  honos_version = c("working_adults"),
  pivot = c("all_items", "item_scores")
)

Arguments

data	Dataset including HoNOS variables in wide format (i.e., one row per assessment, one column per item)
value_vars_current	Vector, specifying variable names with values for 'current' items
prob_var_item8	Vector, specifying variable name with description of problem (prob) for item 8
spec_var_item8	Vector, specifying variable name with problem specification (spec) of for item 8
value_vars_history	Vector, specifying specifying variable names with values for 'historic' items
honos_version	Vector, specifying version of the HoNOS that is being used. TODO IMPLEMENT MORE VERSIONS.
pivot	String, specifying whether to include item 8 problem and item 8 specification in the long format ('all_items') or whether to only include all item scores in long format ("item_scores").
