na2miss: Recode Data

In USGS-R/smwrBase: Functions to import and manipulate hydrologic data

Recode Data

Description

Converts missing values (NAs) to or from a user specified value.

Usage

na2miss(x, to = -99999)

miss2na(x, from = -99999)

Arguments

x	a vector. Missing values (NAs) are allowed.
to	the replacement value for NA.
from	the target value to match and replace with NA.

Value

An object like x with each target value replaced by the specified value.

Note

The function na2miss converts missing values (NA) to the value to and is useful to prepare a vector for export and subsequent use by software external to R that does not handle NAs.
The function miss2na converts the value from to NA and can be used to recode data imported from external software that uses a special value to indicate missing values.
