rda.conversion.saveAsRDA: Convert Loaded Data to RDA File.

In MarcoNiemann/kaggle_house: Analysing House Prices in Ames, Iowa and Build a Sales Price Prediction Model

Description

This function converts a loaded dataset dat into an RDA file.

Usage

rda.conversion.saveAsRDA(dat, name)

Arguments

dat	data.frame containing the data loaded from a raw data/CSV- file.
name	Name assigned to dat by the filename of it's raw file.

Details

This function takes a dataset dat (typically previously loaded via rda.conversion.loadDataFile) and the name it comes with. Based on this it first checks the data directory for an RDA file with the same name (indicating that the data in question has already been converted). Whenever conversion is still required, the input data dat will be bound to the .GlobalEnv under the label of name. This allows to store the variable content to an RDA file via base::save. Finally .GlobalEnv will be cleaned from dat again.
