checkNumeric: Check that an argument is a vector of type numeric

Description

Check that an argument is a vector of type numeric

Usage

checkNumeric(x, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
assertNumeric(x, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, add = NULL,
  .var.name = NULL)
assert_numeric(x, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, add = NULL,
  .var.name = NULL)
testNumeric(x, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
test_numeric(x, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
expect_numeric(x, lower = -Inf, upper = Inf, finite = FALSE,
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, info = NULL,
  label = NULL)

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

lower

[numeric(1)] Lower value all elements of x must be greater than.

upper

[numeric(1)] Upper value all elements of x must be lower than.

finite

[logical(1)] Check for only finite values? Default is FALSE.

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.

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

add

[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertions. See AssertCollection.

.var.name

[NULL || character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in error message. If NULL, the name will be heuristically determined via substitute.

info

[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.

label

[character(1)] Same as .var.name, but passed down to expect_that.

Value

• Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertNumeric/assert_numeric throws an error message, testNumeric/test_numeric returns FALSE, and checkNumeric returns a string with the error message. The function expect_numeric always returns an expectation.

Details

This function does not distinguish between NA, NA_integer_, NA_real_, NA_complex_ NA_character_ and NaN.
