errorlocate (version 1.1.1)

errorlocation-class: Error location object

Description

Errorlocation contains the result of a error detection. Errors can record based or variable based.

  • A record based error is restricted within one observation. errorlocate() using the Felligi Holt algorithm assumes errors are record based.

  • A variable based error is a flaw in uni- or multivariate distribution. To correct this error multiple observations or the aggregated number should be adjusted.

Arguments

Fields

  • $errors: matrix indicating which values are erronuous (TRUE), missing (NA) or valid (FALSE)

  • $weight: The total weight per record. A weight of 0 means no errors were detected.

  • $status: The status of the mip solver for this record.

  • $duration: The number of seconds for processing each record.

Details

Current implementation assumes that errors are record based. The error locations can be retrieved using the method values() and are a matrix of rows and columns, with the same dimensions are the data.frame that was checked. For errors that are purely column based, or dataset based, errorlocations will return a matrix with all rows or cells set to TRUE. The values() return NA for missing values.
