Let?s say I have a data set that includes a column of answers to a question
?What days of the week are you most likely to eat steak??.
The answers provided are [1] ?Friday?, [2] ?Wednesday?, [3] ?Friday,
Saturday, Sunday", [4] "Saturday?, [5] ?Sat, Sun?, [6] ?Th, F, Sa?
How can I tell R to count ?Friday, Saturday, Sunday?, ?Sat, Sun?, and ?Th,
F, Sa? as three separate entries for each unique observation?
And is there a way to simultaneously tell R that, for example, ?Friday? is
the same as ?Fri? or ?F?; ?Saturday? is the same as ?Sat? or ?Sa?; etc.?
Thanks for your assistance.
