Source: R/cleaning_names.R
check_player_names.Rd

Player names can sometimes be spelled incorrectly, particularly if there are character encoding issues. This can be a particular problem when combining data from multiple files. This function checks for similar names that might possibly be multiple variants on the same name.

Usage

check_player_names(x, distance_threshold = 4)

Arguments

x

datavolley: a datavolley object as returned by dv_read, or list of such objects

distance_threshold

numeric: if two names differ by an amount less than this threshold, they will be returned as possible matches

Value

data.frame

dv_read, adist

Examples

if (FALSE) {
  x <- dv_read(dv_example_file(), insert_technical_timeouts = FALSE)
  check_player_names(x)
}
