TCData: Example hierarchical Tables

In TableToLongForm: Automatically Convert Hierarchical for-Human Tables to Machine-Readable LongForm Dataframes

Description

A list containing a number of example Tables that can be converted to LongForm dataframes by TableToLongForm. Each Tables is stored as a character matrix.

These datasets are generally not immediately useful as data, as they must first be converted (e.g. by using TableToLongForm).

If the user prefers to have these data in their Global Environment rather than nested inside a single list, they can use attach(TCData).

Usage

data(TCData)

Format

list containing character matrices of varying size.
