remove NA values from list elements

Description

remove NA values from list elements

Usage

rmNAs(
  x,
  naValue = NULL,
  rmNULL = FALSE,
  nullValue = naValue,
  rmInfinite = TRUE,
  infiniteValue = NULL,
  rmNAnames = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	list of vectors
naValue	NULL or single replacement value for NA entries. If NULL, then NA entries are removed from the result.
rmNULL	logical whether to replace NULL entries with nullValue
nullValue	NULL or single replacement value for NULL entries. If NULL, then NULL entries are removed from the result.
rmInfinite	logical whether to replace Infinite values with infiniteValue
infiniteValue	value to use when rmInfinite==TRUE to replace entries which are Inf or -Inf.
rmNAnames	logical whether to remove entries which have NA as the name, regardless whether the entry itself is NA.
verbose	logical whether to print verbose output
...	additional arguments are ignored.

Details

This function removes NA values from vectors in a list, applying the same logic used in rmNA() to each vector. It is somewhat optimized, in that it checks for list elements that have NA values before applying rmNA(). However, it calls rmNA() iteratively on each vector that contains NA in order to preserve the class (factor, character, numeric, etc.) of each vector.

It also optionally applies convenience functions rmNULL() and rmInfinite() as relevant.

Value

list where NA entries were removed or replaced with naValue in each vector. Empty list elements are optionally removed when rmNULL=TRUE, or replaced with nullValue when defined. When rmInfinite=TRUE then infinite values are either removed, or replaced with infiniteValue when defined.

Examples

testlist <- list(
   A=c(1, 4, 5, NA, 11),
   B=c("B", NA, "C", "Test"))
rmNAs(testlist)

testlist2 <- list(
   A=c(1, 4, 5, NA, 11, Inf),
   B=c(11, NA, 19, -Inf))
rmNAs(testlist2, naValue=-100, infiniteValue=1000)
