Function to check if a variable is unique for all cases of an identifier variable.
Value
Returns either TRUE if the variable is unique within each value for idVar or a GADSdat object including
the not unique cases.
Details
For example if missing values are multiple imputed and data is stored in a long format, checking the uniqueness of a variable within an identifier can be tricky. This function automates this task.
Examples
## create an example GADSdat
iris2 <- iris
iris2$Species <- as.character(iris2$Species)
gads <- import_DF(iris2, checkVarNames = FALSE)
## check uniqueness
checkUniqueness(gads, varName = "Sepal.Length", idVar = "Species")
