The Math: Label Mapper

The Label Mapper is a utility tool for cleaning and standardizing variable labels and value maps.

1. RegEx Replacement

We use standard Regular Expressions (RegEx) to find and replace patterns in text (e.g., removing "Q1. " from "Q1. What is your age?").

2. Value Remapping

We create a mapping dictionary to transform values (e.g., "Male" → 1, "Female" → 2) to prepare data for statistical analysis tools that require numeric inputs.
