miss_var_span: Summarise the number of missings for a given repeating span...

In naniar: Data Structures, Summaries, and Visualisations for Missing Data

Summarise the number of missings for a given repeating span on a variable

Description

To summarise the missing values in a time series object it can be useful to calculate the number of missing values in a given time period. miss_var_span takes a data.frame object, a variable, and a span_every argument and returns a dataframe containing the number of missing values within each span. When the number of observations isn't a perfect multiple of the span length, the final span is whatever the last remainder is. For example, the pedestrian dataset has 37,700 rows. If the span is set to 4000, then there will be 1700 rows remaining. This can be provided using modulo (%%): nrow(data) %% 4000. This remainder number is provided in n_in_span.

Usage

miss_var_span(data, var, span_every)

Arguments

data	data.frame
var	bare unquoted variable name of interest.
span_every	integer describing the length of the span to be explored

Value

dataframe with variables n_miss, n_complete, prop_miss, and prop_complete, which describe the number, or proportion of missing or complete values within that given time span. The final variable, n_in_span states how many observations are in the span.

Examples

miss_var_span(data = pedestrian,
             var = hourly_counts,
             span_every = 168)

## Not run: 
 library(dplyr)
 pedestrian %>%
   group_by(month) %>%
     miss_var_span(var = hourly_counts,
                   span_every = 168)

## End(Not run)
