fringe: Create a Fringe data frame

In datasketch/homodatum: Data types for humans

Create a Fringe data frame

Description

Create a Fringe object from a data frame. The main value of a fringe is its metadata. When creating it, fringe will add to the data frame the following information:

• data: original data frame data. When it is created, the fringe will convert original variable R types onto homodatum ones (Num, Cat, Pct, etc. -see available_hdTypes())

• dic: A diccionary is created with three variable characteristics: id, label and hdType

• frType: Shows all variable types based in homodatum schema

• group: A grouped view of frType

• name: Name for the fringe data frame, setted on name argument

• description: Description for the fringe data frame, setted on description argument

• slug: a custom slug can be added

• stats: Depending on the variable type given by homodatum, the fringe will generate different kind of statistics: nrow, ncol, n_unique, n_na, pct_na, min, max

Usage

fringe(
  x = new_data_frame(),
  frtype = NULL,
  dic = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  description = NULL,
  slug = NULL,
  meta = NULL,
  ...
)
