Description

The aim of retroharmonize is to provide tools for reproducible retrospective (ex-post) harmonization of datasets that contain variables measuring the same concepts but coded in different ways. Ex-post data harmonization enables better use of existing data and creates new research opportunities. For example, harmonizing data from different countries enables cross-national comparisons, while merging data from different time points makes it possible to track changes over time.

This development version has a few know issues. For testing purposes, we release the Harmonized Cultural Access & Participation Dataset (which is also has a vignette in the longform documentation of the R package)
