Overview

About

Maintained by Yaoxiang LiFirst published 2026-05-181 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides dictionary-based tools for recoding free-text gender responses into consistent categories while preserving gender diversity where possible. The package standardises spelling, capitalization, whitespace, and common variants through curated named character-vector dictionaries, supports either detailed or collapsed output categories, and can retain original unmatched responses for manual review. It also includes helpers for creating custom dictionaries from approximate string matches and a local interactive application for recoding uploaded data files.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-gendercoder

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
