R Documentation

dataFrameSubsetDS1 an aggregate function called by ds.dataFrameSubset

Description

First serverside function for subsetting a data frame by row or by column.

Usage

dataFrameSubsetDS1(
  df.name = NULL,
  V1.name = NULL,
  V2.name = NULL,
  Boolean.operator.n = NULL,
  keep.cols = NULL,
  rm.cols = NULL,
  keep.NAs = NULL
)

Arguments

`df.name`	a character string providing the name for the data.frame to be sorted. <df.name> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset
`V1.name`	A character string specifying the name of a subsetting vector to which a Boolean operator will be applied to define the subset to be created. <V1.name> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset
`V2.name`	A character string specifying the name of the vector or scalar to which the values in the vector specified by the argument <V1.name> is to be compared. <V2.name> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset
`Boolean.operator.n`	A character string specifying one of six possible Boolean operators: '==', '!=', '>', '>=', '<', '<=' <Boolean.operator.n> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset
`keep.cols`	a numeric vector specifying the numbers of the columns to be kept in the final subset when subsetting by column. For example: keep.cols=c(2:5,7,12) will keep columns 2,3,4,5,7 and 12. <keep.cols> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset
`rm.cols`	a numeric vector specifying the numbers of the columns to be removed before creating the final subset when subsetting by column. For example: rm.cols=c(2:5,7,12) will remove columns 2,3,4,5,7 and 12. <rm.cols> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset
`keep.NAs`	logical, if TRUE any NAs in the vector holding the final Boolean vector indicating whether a given row should be included in the subset will be converted into 1s and so they will be included in the subset. Such NAs could be caused by NAs in either <V1.name> or <V2.name>. If FALSE or NULL NAs in the final Boolean vector will be converted to 0s and the corresponding row will therefore be excluded from the subset. <keep.NAs> argument generated and passed directly to dataFrameSubsetDS1 by ds.dataFrameSubset

Details

A data frame is a list of variables all with the same number of rows, which is of class 'data.frame'. For all details see the help header for ds.dataFrameSubset

Value

This first serverside function called by ds.dataFrameSubset provides first level traps for a comprehensive series of disclosure risks which can be returned directly to the clientside because dataFrameSubsetDS1 is an aggregate function. The second serverside function called by ds.dataFrameSubset (dataFrameSubsetDS2) carries out most of the same disclosure tests, but it is an assign function because it writes the subsetted data.frame to the serverside. In consequence, it records error messages as studysideMessages which can only be retrieved using ds.message
