Check vector

Check vector

check_y(
  y,
  minScale = NA,
  maxScale = NA,
  responseAlternatives = NA,
  noZero = FALSE,
  toNumeric = TRUE
)

Arguments

y	A vector. If not a numeric vector and toNumeric = TRUE, unique elements will be labelled by an integer value.
minScale	Minimum expected value. If y is a character vector this should refer to the lowest numeric code used.
maxScale	Maximum expected value. If y is a character vector this should refer to the highest numeric code used.
responseAlternatives	An optional vector of possible response alternatives. If NA, responseAlternatives will be set to seq(minScale,maxScale)
noZero	Can the series have value 0?
toNumeric	If TRUE, the unique elements in a non-numeric vector will be labelled by an integer value.

Value

Transformed y (if necessary), or, an error message.

Examples

y <- sample(letters,10)
check_y(y, responseAlternatives=letters)
#> Error in check_y(y, responseAlternatives = letters): could not find function "check_y"
