recoding
Changing data representation
Recoding is the act of coding something again or differently.
In research, it often means reassigning values in data—converting continuous ages into age brackets, or transforming survey responses into numerical scores: We recoded the five-point scale into binary variables.
In computing, recoding may mean rewriting software in a different programming language or restructuring existing code.
