Test if two GADSdat objects are (nearly) equal

Source: R/equalGADS.R
equalGADS.Rd

Run tests to check whether two GADSdat objects are (nearly) equal. equalData compares variable names, number of rows in the data, and data differences. equalMeta compares variable names and meta data differences. equalGADS combines both functions. All functions produce a test report in list format.

Usage

equalGADS(
  target,
  current,
  id = NULL,
  metaExceptions = c("display_width", "labeled"),
  tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps)
)

equalData(target, current, id = NULL, tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps))

equalMeta(target, current, metaExceptions = c("display_width", "labeled"))

Arguments

target

A GADSdat object.

current

A GADSdat object.

id

A character vector containing the unique identifier columns of both GADSdat. If specified, both GADSdat are ordered according to id before comparing their data.

metaExceptions

Should certain meta data columns be excluded from the comparison?

tolerance

A numeric value greater than or equal to 0. Differences smaller than tolerance are not reported. The default value is close to 1.5e-8.

Value

Returns a list with the following entries:

names_not_in_1

Which variables are included in current but not in target?

names_not_in_2

Which variables are included in target but not in current?

data_nrow

Do the actual data sets have the same number of rows?

data_differences

For which variables are the data different?

meta_data_differences

For which variables are the meta data different?

Details

More detailed checks for individual variables can be performed via inspectDifferences and inspectMetaDifferences.
