Check if an argument is a factor

Description

Check if an argument is a factor

Usage

checkFactor(x, levels = NULL, ordered = NA, empty.levels.ok = TRUE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, n.levels = NULL, min.levels = NULL, max.levels = NULL,
  unique = FALSE, names = NULL)

assertFactor(x, levels = NULL, ordered = NA, empty.levels.ok = TRUE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, n.levels = NULL, min.levels = NULL, max.levels = NULL,
  unique = FALSE, names = NULL, .var.name)

testFactor(x, levels = NULL, ordered = NA, empty.levels.ok = TRUE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, n.levels = NULL, min.levels = NULL, max.levels = NULL,
  unique = FALSE, names = NULL)

Arguments

x

[any]
Object to check.

levels

[character]
Vector of allowed factor levels.

ordered

[logical(1)]
Check for an ordered factor? If FALSE or TRUE, checks explicitly for an unordered or ordered factor, respectively. Default is NA which does not perform a check.

empty.levels.ok

[logical(1)]
Are empty levels allowed? Default is TRUE.

any.missing

[logical(1)]
Are vectors with missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.

all.missing

[logical(1)]
Are vectors with only missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.

len

[integer(1)]
Exact expected length of x.

min.len

[integer(1)]
Minimal length of x.

max.len

[integer(1)]
Maximal length of x.

n.levels

[integer(1)]
Exact number of factor levels. Default is NULL (no check).

min.levels

[integer(1)]
Minimum number of factor levels. Default is NULL (no check).

max.levels

[integer(1)]
Maximum number of factor levels. Default is NULL (no check).

unique

[logical(1)]
Must all values be unique? Default is FALSE.

names

[character(1)]
Check for names. See checkNamed for possible values. Default is “any” which performs no check at all. Note that you can use checkSubset to check for a specific set of names.

.var.name

[character(1)]
Name for x. Defaults to a heuristic to determine the name using deparse and substitute.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, all functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertFactor throws an error message, testFactor returns FALSE and checkFactor returns a string with the error message.
