Details

This function provides a vectorised approach to data anonymisation that:

• Suppresses counts below 10 by replacing them with the string "<10".

• Rounds counts of 10 or more to the nearest multiple of 5.

• Formats counts using scales::label_number_auto() to include thousands separators, which repects the locale settings for choice of the big mark.

The function returns a vector of strings representing the anonymised counts.
