Extrapolate from Dictionary

Source: R/Basic_CleanUp.R
ExtrapolatefromDictionary.Rd

Provides term mapping and extraction in one. Standardises any term according to a mapping lexicon provided and then extracts the term. This is different to the DictionaryInPlaceReplace in that it provides a new column with the extracted terms as opposed to changing it in place

Usage

ExtrapolatefromDictionary(inputString, list)

Arguments

inputString

The text string to process

list

of words to iterate through

Examples

#Firstly we extract histology from the raw report
# The function then standardises the histology terms through a series of
# regular expressions and then extracts the type of tissue 
Mypath$Tissue<-suppressWarnings(
suppressMessages(
ExtrapolatefromDictionary(Mypath$Histology,HistolType()
)
)
)
rm(MypathExtraction)
