v_continuous: Continuous vectors

In novisci/stype: Statistical Types

Continuous vectors

Description

Constructors and methods for a continuous data type. v_continuous and cont are synonyms that each create a new v_continuous object subclassed from vctrs_vctr.

Support: the Reals* (plus NA_real_)
Prototype: double
* - i.e. floating-point number

Usage

v_continuous(
  x = ptypeFUN(),
  internal_name = "",
  context,
  auto_compute_summary = auto_compute_default,
  extra_descriptors = list()
)

cont(
  x = ptypeFUN(),
  internal_name = "",
  context,
  auto_compute_summary = auto_compute_default,
  extra_descriptors = list()
)

is_continuous(x)

as_continuous(x)

## S3 method for class 'v_continuous'
as.character(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'v_continuous'
as_canonical(x)

Arguments

x	a double vector
internal_name	the internal name of the variable
context	a context
auto_compute_summary	an indicator of whether the data_summary is automatically computed whenever a vector is initialized, subset, or concatenated. Defaults to TRUE. If this option is set to FALSE, then get_data_summary is the only way to compute the summary. The data_summary_l lens will return an empty data_summary.
extra_descriptors	A list of descriptors functions appended to the default descriptors.
...	passed to other methods such as as.character

Examples

# Example data
src_dbl <- c(-0.5, 1, 2.5, 4, 5.5, NA_real_)

# Constructor for the `v_continuous` class. One can also use `cont` which is a
# synonym for the `v_continuous` function.
v <- v_continuous(
  x = src_dbl,
  internal_name = "v_example",
  context = context(
    short_label = "important_var",
    long_label  = "Very important variable"
  ),
  extra_descriptors = list()
)

# Helper functions and methods
is_continuous(v)
as_continuous(src_dbl)
as.character(v)
as_canonical(v)
