xmu_scale_wide_data: Scale Wide Data Function

In tbates/umx: Structural Equation Modeling and Twin Modeling in R

Scale Wide Data Function

Description

This function scales the values in a wide format data frame and returns a scaled wide format data frame with the same structure as the original, excluding the original non-numeric values.

Usage

xmu_scale_wide_data(data)

Arguments

data	A data frame with at least two columns. The columns to be scaled should contain numeric values.

Details

The function first checks if the input is a data frame and that it contains at least two columns. It then adds a row identifier ('row_id') to facilitate reshaping. The data is reshaped to a long format, where the numeric values are scaled using the 'scale' function. After scaling, the function reshapes the data back to wide format. The resultant scaled values replace the original values, and any identifiers or non-numeric columns are removed.

Value

A data frame with the same number of columns as the input data frame, containing the scaled values. The resulting column names will match the original data column names, excluding any non-numeric columns.

Examples

# Example usage
data <- data.frame(
  time1 = c(2, 4, 6, 8, 10),
  time2 = c(5, 7, 9, 11, 13),
  time3 = c(1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
)
scaled_data <- xmu_scale_wide_data(data)
print(scaled_data)
