Trimming and pruning criteria

Description

Criteria functions (and constructors thereof) for trimming and pruning tables.

Usage

all_zero_or_na(tr)

all_zero(tr)

content_all_zeros_nas(tt, criteria = all_zero_or_na)

prune_empty_level(tt)

prune_zeros_only(tt)

low_obs_pruner(min, type = c("sum", "mean"))

Arguments

tr	(TableRow or related class) a TableRow object representing a single row within a populated table.
tt	(TableTree or related class) a TableTree object representing a populated table.
criteria	(function) function which takes a TableRow object and returns TRUE if that row should be removed. Defaults to all_zero_or_na().
min	(numeric(1)) (used by low_obs_pruner only). Minimum aggregate count value. Subtables whose combined/average count are below this threshold will be pruned.
type	(string) how count values should be aggregated. Must be "sum" (the default) or "mean".

Details

all_zero_or_na returns TRUE (and thus indicates trimming/pruning) for any non-LabelRow TableRow which contain only any mix of NA (including NaN), 0, Inf and -Inf values.

all_zero returns TRUE for any non-LabelRow which contains only (non-missing) zero values.

content_all_zeros_nas prunes a subtable if both of the following are true:

• It has a content table with exactly one row in it.

• all_zero_or_na returns TRUE for that single content row. In practice, when the default summary/content function is used, this represents pruning any subtable which corresponds to an empty set of the input data (e.g. because a factor variable was used in split_rows_by() but not all levels were present in the data).

prune_empty_level combines all_zero_or_na behavior for TableRow objects, content_all_zeros_nas on content_table(tt) for TableTree objects, and an additional check that returns TRUE if the tt has no children.

prune_zeros_only behaves as prune_empty_level does, except that like all_zero it prunes only in the case of all non-missing zero values.

low_obs_pruner is a constructor function which, when called, returns a pruning criteria function which will prune on content rows by comparing sum or mean (dictated by type) of the count portions of the cell values (defined as the first value per cell regardless of how many values per cell there are) against min.

Value

A logical value indicating whether tr should be included (TRUE) or pruned (FALSE) during pruning.

Examples

adsl <- ex_adsl
levels(adsl$SEX) <- c(levels(ex_adsl$SEX), "OTHER")
adsl$AGE[adsl$SEX == "UNDIFFERENTIATED"] <- 0

tbl_to_prune <- basic_table() %>%
  analyze("BMRKR1") %>%
  split_cols_by("ARM") %>%
  split_rows_by("SEX") %>%
  summarize_row_groups() %>%
  split_rows_by("STRATA1") %>%
  summarize_row_groups() %>%
  analyze("AGE") %>%
  build_table(adsl)

tbl_to_prune %>% prune_table(all_zero_or_na)

tbl_to_prune %>% prune_table(all_zero)

tbl_to_prune %>% prune_table(content_all_zeros_nas)

tbl_to_prune %>% prune_table(prune_empty_level)

tbl_to_prune %>% prune_table(prune_zeros_only)

min_prune <- low_obs_pruner(70, "sum")
tbl_to_prune %>% prune_table(min_prune)
