swim_parse_omega: Formats Omega style swimming and diving data read with...

In SwimmeR: Data Import, Cleaning, and Conversions for Swimming Results

Formats Omega style swimming and diving data read with read_results into a data frame

Description

Takes the output of read_results and cleans it, yielding a data frame of swimming (and diving) results

Usage

swim_parse_omega(
  file_omega,
  avoid_omega = avoid,
  typo_omega = typo,
  replacement_omega = replacement,
  format_results = TRUE,
  splits = FALSE,
  split_length_omega = split_length,
  relay_swimmers_omega = relay_swimmers
)

Arguments

file_omega	output from read_results
avoid_omega	a list of strings. Rows in file_omega containing these strings will not be included. For example "Pool:", often used to label pool records, could be passed to avoid_omega. The default is avoid_default, which contains many strings similar to "Pool:", such as "STATE:" and "Qual:". Users can supply their own lists to avoid_omega. avoid_omega is handled before typo_omega and replacement_omega.
typo_omega	a list of strings that are typos in the original results. swim_parse is particularly sensitive to accidental double spaces, so "Central High School", with two spaces between "Central" and "High" is a problem, which can be fixed. Pass "Central High School" to typo_omega. Unexpected commas as also an issue, for example "Texas, University of" should be fixed using typo_omega and replacement_omega
replacement_omega	a list of fixes for the strings in typo_omega. Here one could pass "Central High School" (one space between "Central" and "High") and "Texas" to replacement_omega fix the issues described in typo_omega
format_results	should the results be formatted for analysis (special strings like "DQ" replaced with NA, Finals as definitive column)? Default is TRUE
splits	either TRUE or the default, FALSE - should swim_parse attempt to include splits.
split_length_omega	either 25 or the default, 50, the length of pool at which splits are recorded. Not all results are internally consistent on this issue - some have races with splits by 50 and other races with splits by 25.
relay_swimmers_omega	should names of relay swimmers be captured? Default is FALSE

Value

returns a data frame with columns Name, Place, Age, Team, Prelims, Finals, Points, Event & DQ. Note all swims will have a Finals, even if that time was actually swam in the prelims (i.e. a swimmer did not qualify for finals). This is so that final results for an event can be generated from just one column.
