get_set-methods: Extract and modify variables from population or sample data...

In statistikat/simPop: Simulation of Complex Synthetic Data Information

Extract and modify variables from population or sample data stored in an object of class simPopObj-class.

Description

Using samp samp<- it is possible to extract or rather modify variables of the sample data within slot data in slot sample of the simPopObj-class-object. Using pop pop<- it is possible to extract or rather modify variables of the synthetic population within in slot data in slot sample of the simPopObj-class-object.

Arguments

obj	An object of class simPopObj-class
var	variable name or index for the variable in slot 'samp' of object with the slot name to be accessed. If NULL, the entire dataset (sample or population) is returned.
value	Content replacing whatever the variable in slot var in obj currently holds.

Value

Returns an object of class simPopObj-class with the appropriate replacement.

Examples

data(eusilcS)

inp <- specifyInput(data=eusilcS, hhid="db030", hhsize="hsize", strata="db040",
weight="db090")
simPopObj <- simStructure(data=inp, method="direct", basicHHvars=c("age", "rb090"))

## get/set variables in sample-object of simPopObj
head(samp(simPopObj, var="age"))
samp(simPopObj, var="newVar") <- 1
head(samp(simPopObj, var="newVar"))
## deleting is also possible
samp(simPopObj, var="newvar") <- NULL
head(samp(simPopObj, var="newvar"))
## extract multiple variables
head(samp(simPopObj, var=c("db030","db040")))

## get/set variables in pop-object of simPopObj
head(pop(simPopObj, var="age"))
pop(simPopObj, var="newVar") <- 1
head(pop(simPopObj, var="newVar"))
## deleting is also possible
pop(simPopObj, var="newvar") <- NULL
head(pop(simPopObj, var="newvar"))
## extract multiple variables
head(pop(simPopObj, var=c("db030","db040")))
