na: Basic Statistical Functions for Handling Missing Values
Description
Basic statistical functions for handling missing values or NA.
In log.na
, sum.na
, mean.na
and var.na
,
quantile.na
, length.na
, missing values are omitted
from the calculation.
The function cor.na
calls cor
with the argument
use="pairwise.complete.obs"
.
The function order.na
only handles vector arguments and not
lists. However, it gives the option of omitting the NAs
(na.last=NA
), of placing the NAs at the start of the ordered
vector (na.last=F
) or at the end (na.last=T
).
The function scale.na
is a modified version of
scale
which allows NAs in the variance calculation. If
scale = T
, the function f
in scale.na
uses
var.na
to perform the variance calculation.
The function prod.na
is similar to the prod
function with na.rm=TRUE
. This function returns the product of
all the values present in its arguments, omitting any missing values.
