Discretize a vector of age integers into labelled variables

ccc_bin_age(agevec, agelbl = deframe(ccesMRPprep::age5_key))

Arguments

agevec: a vector of integers
agelbl: a value-key pair to be passed into recode, with values as the things to be recoded and labels as the labels for each value.

Details

The recoding is governed by age5_key. IT currently only accepts 5-way binning, following the ACS.
