pinr 0.1.0.9000

pinr 0.1.0

• New pin() function for creating new PINs from date and order of birth.

• New pin_rescue() function: attempts to fix common problems in PINs.

• New pin_ordinal() function: extract the ordinal number from a PIN.

• pseudonymize() now warns if some pseudonymized columns contain only NA values. Use quiet = TRUE to suppress these warnings.

pinr 0.0.0.9007

• is_probably_pin() gains a data.frame method. Use to check if a dataframe probably contains at least one PIN column (@sakasute).

• New is_valid_pin() function: check if elements of a vector are valid PINs.

• pin_century() is now exported: use it to get the century of birth based on the separator character present in a PIN.

• is_probably_pin() is now a generic function, allowing custom methods for different classes.

• When replace = FALSE, pseudonymize()'d columns are now insterted directly after the corresponding PIN column, rather than appended to the end of the data.

pinr 0.0.0.9006

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

New features

• Added new function pin_extract() for extracting the date of birth and sex from a PIN column in a data frame into new columns.

Breaking changes

• The drop_pin argument in pseudonymize() has been renamed to replace. This more descriptive name is also more consistent with names of arguments with similar functionality in other packages.

• Removed the try_fix option in pin_dob(). In the future, this feature will be implemented more comprehensively in a dedicated function (#12).

Bug fixes

• When removing pin columns, now nothing gets suffixed and manual renames are applied. When retaining pin columns, pseudonymized columns that are not manually renamed gain the pid_suffix (#1).
