read_ind: Read eigenstrat *.ind files

Description

This function reads a standard eigenstrat *.ind file into a tibble. It uses readr::read_table2 to do it efficiently.

Usage

read_ind(file, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

file

Input file (whatever is accepted by readr::read_table2). If file as given does not exist and is missing the expected *.ind extension, the function adds the .ind extension and uses that path if that file exists. Additionally, the .gz extension is added automatically if the file (after *.ind extension is added as needed) is still not found and did not already contained the .gz extension and adding it points to an existing file.

verbose

If TRUE (default) function reports the path of the file being loaded (after autocompleting the extensions).

Value

A tibble with columns: id, sex, label.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# read an existing eigenstrat *.ind file
file <- system.file("extdata", 'sample.ind', package = "genio", mustWork = TRUE)
ind <- read_ind(file)
ind

# can specify without extension
file <- sub('\\.ind$', '', file) # remove extension from this path on purpose
file # verify .ind is missing
ind <- read_ind(file) # load it anyway!
ind

# }
