check.data
is used to check whether the data are of required
format.
1 2 | check.data(X, format = c("probability.different", "percent.same",
"general"))
|
X |
a required square matrix or data frame of numeric
data. No |
format |
an optional character string giving the data format to
be checked. This must be one of |
The data must be a matrix or a data frame, have the same number of rows and columns, and be numeric consisting of real numbers. In particular, no infinite, undefined, or missing values are allowed. This is the general data format. The probability-different and percent-same formats, in addition, require that the data lie in the intervals [0, 1] and [0, 100], respectively. If all of the requirements for a data format are satisfied, the data are returned as a matrix with rows and columns labeled; otherwise the function produces respective messages.
The labeling is as follows.
If the data are entered without any labeling of the rows and columns: The function does the labeling automatically, as a1, b1, …, z1, a2, b2, …, z2, ..., etc., up to a9, b9, …, z9 if the data are as large as 234x234, or if the data are larger than 234x234, the labeling is v1, v2, …, vN, where NxN is the dimension of the data (and N > 234).
If the data are entered with either row or column labeling: In that case, the row or column labels are assigned to the columns or rows, respectively.
If the data are entered with row and column labeling: Since the labeling of both the rows and columns is now provided by the user manually, the same labeling must be used for both. If this is the case, the labeling is adopted. Otherwise the function produces a respective message.
If the data are of required format, check.data
returns a
matrix of the data with rows and columns labeled.
