Guess the source of names

Guess the source of names based on predefined mappings. The function counts how many elements in the input vector x match the names defined in the mapping schema for each software and returns the software with the highest match count.

Usage

guessSource(x = character(), map = softwareMappingSchema())

Arguments

x

A character vector of names for which the source should be guessed.

map

Optional data.frame with a custom mapping schema. If not provided, the default mapping schema defined in the package will be used. The data.frame must contain the software names as column names and the corresponding names as values.

Value

A character(1) with the name of the guessed source software.
