cellInfo: query information for a specific cell in 'safeObj-class'...
In bernhard-da/sdcTable: Methods for Statistical Disclosure Control in Tabular Data

Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) Examples

Function cellInfo is used to query information for a single table cell for objects of class safeObj-class.

1	cellInfo(object, characteristics, varNames, verbose = FALSE)

`object`	an object of class `safeObj-class`
`characteristics`	a character vector specifying characteristics of the table cell that should be identified for each dimensional variable defining the table
`varNames`	a character vector specifying variable names of dimensional variables defining the tables
`verbose`	logical vector of length 1 defining verbosity, defaults to 'FALSE'

a list containing the following calculated information

cellID: numeric vector of length 1 specifying the index of the cell within the final result dataset
data: a data.frame containing a single row with the index of the table cell of interest
primSupp: logical vector of length 1 that is 'TRUE' if the cell is a primary sensitive cell and 'FALSE' otherwise
secondSupp: logical vector of length 1 that is 'TRUE' if the cell is a secondary suppressed cell and 'FALSE' otherwise

Important: the i-th element of argument characteristics is uses as the desired characteristic for the dimensional variable specified at the i-th position of argument varNames!
