Usage

acled_transform_wider(data, type = "full_actors")

Arguments

data,

a dataframe or tibble containing your dataset.

type,

a character string. One of five types: full_actors, main_actors, assoc_actors, source, or all.

  • full_actors: All actor and associated actor columns

  • main_actors: Actor 1 and Actor 2 columns

  • assoc_actors: All associated actor columns

# argen_acled_long_actors <- acled_transform_longer(argen_acled,
#                        type = "full_actor") # Transforming the data to long form

# argen_acled_wide <- acled_transform_wider(argen_acled_long_actors,
#                        type = "full_actor") # Transforming the data back to wide form

# nrow(argen_acled_wide) # Number of rows in the dataset
# [1] 145 # Wide form

# nrow(argen_acled_long_actors) # Number of rows in the dataset
# [1] 263 # Long form
