int_detect_format: Detect Interval Data Format

In dataSDA: Datasets and Basic Statistics for Symbolic Data Analysis

Detect Interval Data Format

Description

Automatically detect the format of interval data.

Usage

int_detect_format(x)

Arguments

x	interval data in unknown format

Details

Detection rules:

• RSDA: has class "symbolic_tbl" and contains complex columns

• MM: data.frame with paired "_min" and "_max" columns

• iGAP: data.frame with columns containing comma-separated values (e.g., "1.2,3.4")

• ARRAY: a 3-dimensional array with dim[3] = 2 (min/max slices)

• SODAS: character string ending with ".xml" (file path)

• SDS: alias for SODAS

Value

A character string indicating the detected format: "RSDA", "MM", "iGAP", "ARRAY", "SODAS", or "unknown"

Examples

data(mushroom.int)
int_detect_format(mushroom.int)  # Should return "RSDA"

data(abalone.iGAP)
int_detect_format(abalone.iGAP)  # Should return "iGAP"

# ARRAY format
x <- array(1:24, dim = c(4, 3, 2))
int_detect_format(x)  # Should return "ARRAY"
