In dataMaid: A Suite of Checks for Identification of Potential Errors in a Data Frame as Part of the Data Screening Process

Description

An artificial dataset, intended for presenting the key features of dataMaid, which is a toolset for identifying potential errors in a dataset.

Usage

toyData

Format

A data.frame with 15 rows and 6 variables.

pill

A factor variable with two levels ("red" and "blue") and a few (correctly coded) missing observations. This represents the colour of a pill.

events

A numeric variable with one obvious outlier value (82), two miscoded missing values (999 and NaN) and a few correctly coded missing values. The number of previous events.

region

A factor variable where two of the levels ("other" and "OTHER" are the same word with different case settings. Moreover, the variable includes a Stata-style miscoded missing value ("."). Used to represent geographical regions or treatment centers.

.

change

A numeric variable (random draws from a standard normal distribution). Representing a change in a measured variable.

id
