integerCols | R Documentation |
This function detects which numeric columns in a data frame contain only whole numbers, and converts those columns to integer class, so that they take up less space.
integerCols(data)
data |
a data frame containing possibly integer columns classified as "numeric". |
The function returns a data frame with the same columns as 'data', but with those that are numeric and contain only whole numbers (possibly including NA) now classified as "integer".
