imed_check_size_window: Guard analytical size-window compatibility

In imedR: Guarded Evidence Synthesis for the Indian Microplastics Evidence Database

Guard analytical size-window compatibility

Description

Uses linked SIZE_METHODS records to identify unresolved or heterogeneous analytical/reporting lower bounds. It never substitutes mesh/filter pore size for an analytical lower size limit.

Usage

imed_check_size_window(
  x,
  sample_id = NULL,
  action = c("error", "warn", "return")
)

Arguments

x	An imed_db.
sample_id	Optional sample IDs.
action	error, warn or return.

Value

A 'tibble' with columns 'compatible' (logical) and 'issue' (character; '"None"' when no problem is found) if 'action = "return"'. For 'action = "error"' or '"warn"' the function returns invisibly a single logical value ('TRUE' if the size windows are compatible) and stops or warns when they are not.

Examples

db <- imed_data(tables = "SIZE_METHODS", validate = FALSE)
imed_check_size_window(db, action = "return")
