check_constraint: check_constraint

In rakeR: Easy Spatial Microsimulation (Raking) in R

Description

Checks a constraint table for common errors.

Usage

check_constraint(constraint_var, num_zones)

Arguments

constraint_var	The constraint table to check, usually a data frame
num_zones	The number of zones that should be present in the table

Details

Checks a constraint table for the following common errors:

• Ensures all zone codes are unique

• Ensures there are the expected number of zones

• Ensures all but the zone column are numeric (integer or double)

Value

If no errors are detected the function returns silently. Any errors will stop the function or script to be investigated.

Examples

cons <- data.frame(
"zone"      = letters[1:3],
"age_0_49"  = c(8, 2, 7),
"age_gt_50" = c(4, 8, 4),
"sex_f"     = c(6, 6, 8),
"sex_m"     = c(6, 4, 3)
)
check_constraint(cons, 3)  # no errors
