In SWS-Methodology/faoswsProcessing: Standard data manipulation procedure for SWS.

Description

This function has been built in order to transform all the values corresponding to non-protected in to NA with ObservationFlag=M and methodFlag=u

Usage

removeNonProtectedFlag(data, valueVar = "Value",
  observationFlagVar = "flagObservationStatus",
  methodFlagVar = "flagMethod", yearVar = "timePointYears",
  missingObservationFlag = "M", missingMethodFlag = "u",
  normalised = TRUE, denormalisedKey = "measuredElement",
  flagValidTable = NULL, keepDataUntil = NULL)

Arguments

data	The data.table object to be manipulate
valueVar	The column name of data which contains the values for the variable to be modified.
observationFlagVar	The column name of the observation flag corresponding to value.
methodFlagVar	The column name of the method flag corresponding to value.
missingObservationFlag	The character value which is used to represent missing values in the observation flag. This value will be put in any column containing imputation data that is removed.
missingMethodFlag	The character value which is used to represent missing values in the method flag. This value will be put in any column containing imputation data that is removed.
normalised	logical, whether the data is normalised
denormalisedKey	optional, only required if the input data is not normalised.It is the name of the key that denormalises the data.
keepDataUntil	numeric It is possible to delete non-protected flag starting from a specific year. This feature is important when we need to impute missing values keeping data (protected or not) up to a specific year. This parameter allows specifying the year from which we want to start deleting non-protected figures.

Details

flagValidTable Table containing valid and protected flag combination. This table is generally recorded into the Flag package.
