Zapsmall: Zapsmall Data Frame Columns and Numeric Vectors

In DiegoZardetto/ReGenesees: R Evolved Generalized Software for Sampling Estimates and Errors in Surveys

Zapsmall Data Frame Columns and Numeric Vectors

Description

Put to zero values "close" to zero.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
Zapsmall(x, digits = getOption("digits"), ...)
## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
Zapsmall(x, digits = getOption("digits"), except = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	A data.frame with numeric columns or a numeric vector.
digits	Integer indicating the precision to be used.
except	Indices of columns not to be zapped (if any).
...	Arguments for future expansion.

Details

This function "extends" to data.frame objects function zapsmall from the package base.
The method for class data.frame 'zaps' values close to zero occurring in columns of x. Argument except can be used to prevent specific columns from being zapped.
The default method is a bare copy of the original function from package base.

Value

An object of the same class of x, with values "close" to zero zapped to zero.

Examples

# Create a test data frame with columns containing
# values of different orders of magnitude:
data <- data.frame(a = pi*10^(-8:1), b = c(rep(1000,8), c(1E-5, 1E-6)))

# Print on screen the test data frame:
data

# Compare with its zapped version:
Zapsmall(data)
