In qdap: Bridging the Gap Between Qualitative Data and Quantitative Analysis

Wrapper for colSplit that Returns Dataframe(s)

Description

colsplit2df - Wrapper for colSplit that returns a dataframe.

lcolsplit2df - Wrapper for colsplit2df designed for qdap lists that returns a list dataframes.

Usage

colsplit2df(
  dataframe,
  splitcols = 1,
  new.names = NULL,
  sep = ".",
  keep.orig = FALSE,
  name.sep = "&",
  index.names = FALSE
)

lcolsplit2df(qdap.list, keep.orig = FALSE)

Arguments

dataframe	A dataframe with a column that has been pasted together.
splitcols	The name/index of the column(s) that has been pasted together.
new.names	A character vector of new names to assign to the columns (or list of names if multiple columns are being split). Default attempts to extract the original names before the paste.
sep	The character(s) that was used in paste2 to paste the columns.
keep.orig	logical. If TRUE the original pasted column will be retained as well.
name.sep	The character(s) that was used to paste the column names.
index.names	logical. If TRUE names of columns that are duplicated are indexed with c("name.1", "name.2", ... "name.n").
qdap.list	A qdap list object that contains dataframes with a leading paste2 column.

Value

colsplit2df - returns a dataframe with the paste2 column split into new columns.

lcolsplit2df - returns a list of dataframes with the paste2 column split into new columns.

Warning

This will strip the class of the qdap object.

Note

lcolsplit2df is a convenience function that is less flexible than colsplit2df but operates on multiple dataframes at once.

Examples

## Not run: 
CO2$`Plant&Type&Treatment` <- paste2(CO2[, 1:3])
CO2 <- CO2[, -c(1:3)]
head(CO2)
head(colsplit2df(CO2, 3))
head(colsplit2df(CO2, 3, qcv(A, B, C)))
head(colsplit2df(CO2, 3, qcv(A, B, C), keep.orig=TRUE))
head(colsplit2df(CO2, "Plant&Type&Treatment"))
CO2 <- datasets::CO2

(dat <- colpaste2df(head(mtcars), list(1:3), sep = "|"))
colsplit2df(dat, 12, sep = "|")

## Multiple split example
E <- list(
    c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
    qcv(mpg, hp),
    c("disp", "am")
)

(dat2 <- colpaste2df(head(mtcars), E, sep ="|"))
cols <- c("mpg&cyl&disp&hp&drat", "mpg&hp", "disp&am")
colsplit2df(dat2, cols, sep = "|")

## lcolsplit2df example
(x <- with(DATA.SPLIT, question_type(state, list(sex, adult))))
ltruncdf(x)
z <- lcolsplit2df(x)
ltruncdf(z)
