encode_binary: Encode Binary Data Into 0 and 1

In cleandata: To Inspect and Manipulate Data; and to Keep Track of This Process

Description

Encodes binary data into 0 and 1. Optionally records the result into a log file.

Usage

encode_binary(x, out.int=FALSE, full_print=TRUE, log = eval.parent(in_log_default))

Arguments

x	The data frame
out.int	Whether to convert encoded x to integers. Only set to TRUE when no NA in x because NAs in x causes error when converting to integers. By default, the encoded x is factorial.
full_print	When set to FALSE, only print minimum information. A full output includes summary of x before and after encoding.
log	Controls log files. To produce log files, assign it or the log_arg variable in the parent environment (dynamic scope) a list of arguments for sink(), such as file, append, and split.

Value

An encoded data frame.

Warning

x can only be a data frame. Don't pass a vector to it.

# building a data frame
A <- as.factor(c('x', 'y', 'x'))
B <- as.factor(c('y', 'x', 'y'))
C <- as.factor(c('i', 'j', 'i'))
df <- data.frame(A, B, C)

# encoding
df <- encode_binary(df)
print(df)
