writeJJFormat: Write a problem in jj-format to a file

In bernhard-da/sdcTable: Methods for Statistical Disclosure Control in Tabular Data

Description

This function allows to write a problem instance in JJ-Format to a file.

Usage

writeJJFormat(x, tabvar = "freqs", path = "out.jj",
  overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

x	an input produced by createJJFormat()
tabvar	the name of the variable that will be used when producing the problem in JJ format. It is possible to specify freqs (the default) or the name of a numeric variable that was available in the sdcProblem object used in makeProblem().
path	a scalar character defining the name of the file that should be written. This can be an absolute or relative URL; however the file must not exist.
overwrite	logical scalar, if TRUE the file specified in path will be overwritten if it exists

Value

invisibly the path to the file that was created.

Examples

data("microData1", package = "sdcTable")

# create hierarchies
dimList <- list(
  region = hier_create(
    root = "Total",
    nodes = LETTERS[1:4]
  ),
  gender = hier_create(
    root = "Total",
    nodes = c("male", "female")
  )
)

# create a problem instance
prob <- makeProblem(
  data = microData1,
  dimList = dimList,
  numVarInd = "val"
)

# create suitable input for `writeJJFormat`
inp <- createJJFormat(prob); inp

# write files to disk
# frequency table by default
writeJJFormat(inp, path = "prob_freqs.jj", overwrite = TRUE)

# or using the numeric variable `val` previously specified
writeJJFormat(inp, tabvar = "val", path = "prob_val.jj", overwrite = TRUE)
