In rvec: Vectors Representing Random Variables

Vectorised If-Else, When Condition is an Rvec

Description

A version of if_else for the situation where condition is an rvec.

Usage

if_else_rvec(condition, true, false, missing = NULL, size = NULL)

Arguments

condition	An object of class rvec_lgl.
true, false	Vectors (including rvecs) to use for TRUE and FALSE values of condition.
missing	Vectors to use for NA values of condition. Optional.
size	Length of output. Optional.

Value

An rvec with the same number of draws as condition.

• base R function ifelse() does not not work correctly if any of the inputs are rvecs.

• dplyr function if_else works correctly if arguments true, false or missing are rvecs, but not if argument condition is an rvec.

Examples

x <- rvec(list(c(1, 11),
               c(2, 5),
               c(22, 6)))

x > 10 ## rvec_lgl

## if_else_rvec needed when
## 'condition' is an rvec
if_else_rvec(x > 10, 10, x)

## dplyr::if_else works when
## 'true', 'false', or 'missing'
## (but not 'condition') are rvecs
library(dplyr)
if_else(c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE), x, 100)
