coerce_NA_text: Coerce textual NAs to true NA values

In mjdufort/miscHelpers: Miscellaneous helper functions

Coerce textual NAs to true NA values

Description

This function is designed to convert textual NAs to true NA values. It can operate on vectors, data frames, data frame like objects (e.g. tibbles), or matrices. It returns an object of the same class. The values that will be coerced to NAs can be provided as a character vector.

Usage

coerce_NA_text(
  x, NA_values = c("NA", "na", "N/A", "n/a", "", "."), 
  add_NA_values, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x	vector, matrix, or data frame containing the data to be coerced
NA_values	character vector, the values to be coerced to NAs.
add_NA_values	character vector, additional values (beyond NA_values) to coerce to NA. This argument simplifies keeping the default NA_values and adding one or more additional values to it
verbose	logical, whether to output information on data being coerced; if x is a data frame, the function will output the names of the columns with data being coerced.

Value

An object of the same type as the input data
