| recodeValuesDS {dsBase} | R Documentation |
This function recodes specified values of elements in a vector into a matched set of alternative specified values.
recodeValuesDS(
var.name.text = NULL,
values2replace.text = NULL,
new.values.text = NULL,
missing = NULL
)
var.name.text |
a character string providing the name for the vector representing the variable to be recoded. <var.name.text> argument generated and passed directly to recodeValuesDS by ds.recodeValues |
values2replace.text |
a character string specifying the values in the vector specified by the argument <var.name.text> that are to be replaced by new values as specified in the new.values.vector. The <values2replace.text> argument is generated and passed directly to recodeValuesDS by ds.recodeValues. In effect, the <values2replace.vector> argument of the ds.recodeValues function is converted to a character string format that is acceptable to the DataSHIELD R parser in the data repository and so can be accepted by recodeValuesDS |
new.values.text |
a character string specifying the new values to which the specified values in the vector <var.name> are to be converted. The <new.values.text> argument is generated and passed directly to recodeValuesDS by ds.recodeValues. In effect, the <new.values.vector> argument of the ds.recodeValues function is converted to a character string format that is acceptable to the DataSHIELD R parser in the data repository and so can be used in the call to recodeValuesDS. |
missing |
if supplied, any missing values in the variable referred to by var.name.text will be replaced by this value. |
For all details see the help header for ds.recodeValues
the object specified by the <newobj> argument (or default name '<var.name>_recoded') initially specified in calling ds.recodeValues. The output object (the required recoded variable called <newobj> is written to the serverside.
