Details

This function is useful, when you want to recode the 'raw' values from a vector in a data.frame based on recoding information provided in a dictionary file. For example, you code the answers in a data frame that were given to a task. And you have additional information in a dic-file that tells you, which answer is correct (1) vs. false (0).
