Convert the category column to a factor with contrasts — factor

Convert the category column to a factor with contrasts

Usage

factor_categories(df, n = c("_control", "_spatial", "_visual"), base = 3, ...)

Arguments

df: A data frame containing a category column.
n: A vector of levels for the factor. Default is c("_control", "_spatial", "_visual").
base: The base level for the contrasts. Default is 3 for the visual category, as our hypothesis called for planned comparisons of the visual category with the other two. This argument can be used to set a different base level if desired.
...: Additional arguments passed to add_factor_contrasts().

Value

A data frame with the category column converted to a factor with contrasts added.

Examples

df <- factor_categories(experiment_data)
contrasts(df$category)
#>         _control _spatial
#> Control        1        0
#> Spatial        0        1
#> Visual         0        0
