For users interested in reordering the attributes and levels of their conjoint data set. First save the existing order to a CSV using save_labels, then manually reorder them in the CSV. Finally, use this function to read in the modified CSV and automatically apply the new order to the existing projoint_data.

Usage

read_labels(.data, .filename)

Arguments

.data

A `projoint_data` object

.filename

The name of a revised CSV file, originally derived from save_labels, after manual arrangement

Value

A projoint object of class projoint_data ready to pass to projoint.

Examples

library(projoint)
library(readr)

data("exampleData1")
head(exampleData1)
