assignRecode | A variable is transformed in an indicated way
checkCoercion | Check if values can be safely coerced without introduction of missing values
colnamesReplace | Replace column names with new names from a named vector
deduper | Removes redundant words from beginnings of character strings
deleteBogusColumns | Remove columns in which the proportion of missing data exceeds a threshold.

histOMatic | Show variables, one at a time, QUICKLY and EASILY.
importQualtrics | Import Qualtrics survey files, apply clean column names
initProject | Create project directories, initialize a git repo, create README.md ChangeLog, and R template file in R directory
is.data.frame.simple | Check if a data frame is a simple collection of columns (no lists or matrices within)
isNA | Check if values are R NA symbol or any one of the na.strings elements
keyApply | Apply variable key to data frame (generate recoded data frame)

keySave | Save key as file after deducing type from suffix
keysPool | Homogenize class values and create a long key by pooling variable keys.
keysPoolCheck | Compares keys from different data sets; finds differences classes of variables. This used to check for similarity of keys from various data sets, one precursor to either combining the keys or merging the data sets themselves.
keyTemplate | Create variable key template (in memory or in a file)
