A function to determine whether any level of a categorical variable has completely missing outcome (metabolite) data

Description

This function determines whether any level of a categorical predictor variable has completely missing outcome data.

Usage

anyMissingLevels( yname,  cat.vars,  dataset)

Arguments

yname	A character string indicating the outcome variable, i.e., a metabolite.
cat.vars	A character vector of categorical variable names.

Value

Returns a list indicating whether each of the variables specified in argument cat.vars has at least one level with completely missing values for the outcome variable specified in yname.

Examples

#create example analysis data 
data(euMetabCData)
example.data<-euMetabCData
example.data[example.data$batch==1, "aspartic_acid"]<-NA

#check to determine if aspartic acid values are entirely missing for 
#any level of batch or pheno 
anyMissingLevels( "aspartic_acid", c( "batch",  "pheno"), example.data)
