check_behaviour: Check records in behaviour table

In mstrimas/krsp: Working with the Kluane Red Squirrel Project Database

Description

Perform data integrity checks on the behaviour table. Run all checks at once with check_bahaviour(), or perform individual checks with the specific functions outlined below.

Usage

check_behaviour(con, grid, year, observer)

check_behaviour_loc(con, grid, year, observer)

check_behaviour_mode(con, grid, year, observer)

check_behaviour_time(con, grid, year, observer)

Arguments

con	Connection to KRSP database
grid	character; one or more grids to search. Defaults to all grids.
year	integer; one or more years to search within. Defaults to all years.
observer	character; one or more observers to highlight errors for. Defaults to all observers.

Value

A data frame of records that failed the checks.

Checks

The following checks have been implemented:

• check_behaviour_loc: all locs should conform to the standard format, e.g. A.1, 22.1, or -1.8.

• check_behaviour_mode: the mode of the observation, i.e. how it was taken, should never be empty.

• check_behaviour_time: in general, behaviour observations should all be taken between between 6am and 10pm, with the exception of nest locs, which may be night locs.

Examples

con <- krsp_connect()
# run individual checks
check_behaviour_time(con, grid = "AG", year = 2013)
check_behaviour_loc(con, grid = c("AG", "JO"), observer = "MES")
check_behaviour_mode(con, year = 2010:2012)
# or perform them all at once
check_behaviour(con, grid = "JO", year = 2012)
