Creating Correspondence Tables Between Two Statistical Classifications

A candidate correspondence table between two classifications can be created when there are correspondence tables leading from the first classification to the second one via intermediate 'pivot' classifications. The correspondence table between two statistical classifications can be updated when one of the classifications gets updated to a new version.

CorrespondenceTables

Empowering the seamless creation and refinement of correspondence tables between two statistical classifications, such as NACE, CPA, CN, and more. This toolkit not only streamlines the process of generating and updating these tables but also provides functionality for retrieving classification and correspondence tables. It includes features for conducting quality control on classifications and offers a comprehensive analysis of correspondence tables with the ability to aggregate them effectively.

Installation

'correspondenceTables' can be installed from CRAN by

install.packages("correspondenceTables")

or use the development version from GitHub

devtools::install_github("eurostat/correspondenceTables", build_vignettes = TRUE)
