xmu_make_bin_cont_pair_data: Make pairs of bin & continuous columns to represent censored...

In umx: Structural Equation Modeling and Twin Modeling in R

Make pairs of bin & continuous columns to represent censored data

Description

Takes a dataframe of right or left-censored variables (vars with a floor/ceiling effect) and does two things to it:

1. It creates new binary (1/0) copies of each column (with the suffix "bin"). These contain 0 where the variable is below the minimum and NA otherwise. The second variable receives a suffix "cont".

2. By default, in each existing variable, it sets all instances of min for that var to NA

Usage

xmu_make_bin_cont_pair_data(
  data,
  vars = NULL,
  suffixes = NULL,
  censp = NULL,
  type = "low"
)

Arguments

data	A data.frame() to convert
vars	The variables to process
suffixes	Suffixes if the data are family (wide, more than one persona on a row)
censp	Optional censoring point
type	Either "low" or "high" (default = "low"). Low for left-censored, high for right-censored.

Value

• copy of the dataframe with new binary variables and censoring

df[order(df$mpgcont), c("mpgcont","mpgbin")]

# Introduce a floor effect

tmp$mpg_T1 = tmp$mpg_T2 = tmp$mpg
df = xmu_make_bin_cont_pair_data(tmp, vars = c("mpg"), suffixes = c("_T1", "_T2"))
