eatGADS (version 1.1.1)

import_DF: Import R data.frame

Description

Function to import a data.frame object for use in eatGADS while extracting value labels from factors.

Usage

import_DF(df, checkVarNames = TRUE)

Value

Returns a list with the actual data dat and a data frame with all meta information in long format labels.

Arguments

df

A data.frame.

checkVarNames

Should variable names be checked for violations of SQLite and R naming rules?

Details

Factors are integers with labeled variable levels. import_DF extracts these labels and stores them in a separate meta data data.frame. See import_spss for detailed information.

Examples

dat <- import_DF(iris, checkVarNames = FALSE)

# Inspect Meta data
extractMeta(dat)

# Extract Data
dat <- extractData(dat, convertLabels = "character")
