drop_type_vars: Drop automatically generated Variables

In qol: Powerful 'SAS' Inspired Concepts for more Efficient Bigger Outputs

Drop automatically generated Variables

Description

If summarise_plus() is used with the nested options "all" or "single", three variables are automatically generated: TYPE, TYPE_NR and DEPTH. With this functions these variables are dropped.

Usage

drop_type_vars(data_frame)

Arguments

data_frame

The data frame with automatically generated variables.

Value

Returns a data frame without the variables TYPE, TYPE_NR and DEPTH.

Examples

# Example format
sex. <- discrete_format(
    "Total"  = 1:2,
    "Male"   = 1,
    "Female" = 2)

# Example data frame
my_data <- dummy_data(1000)

# Call function
all_possible <- my_data |>
    summarise_plus(class      = c(year, sex),
                   values     = c(income, probability),
                   statistics = c("sum", "mean", "freq"),
                   formats    = list(sex = "sex."),
                   weight     = weight,
                   nesting    = "all",
                   na.rm      = TRUE) |>
    drop_type_vars()
