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

Description

Vectors of storage type “integer” and “double” count as “numeric”, c.f. is.numeric. To explicitly check for real integer or double vectors, see checkInteger, checkIntegerish or checkDouble.

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,
  sorted = FALSE,
  names = NULL,
  typed.missing = FALSE,
  null.ok = FALSE
)

  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  sorted = FALSE,
  names = NULL,
  typed.missing = FALSE,
  null.ok = FALSE
)

  x,
  lower = -Inf,
  upper = Inf,

  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,

  info = NULL,
  label = vname(x)
)

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions

assertNumeric/assert_numeric return

x invisibly, whereas

checkNumeric/check_numeric and

testNumeric/test_numeric return

TRUE. If the check is not successful,

assertNumeric/assert_numeric

throws an error message,

testNumeric/test_numeric

returns FALSE, and checkNumeric/check_numeric

return a string with the error message. The function expect_numeric always returns an

expectation.

Arguments

x

[any]
Object to check.

lower

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

upper

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

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 no non-missing values allowed? Default is TRUE. Note that empty vectors do not have non-missing values.

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.

sorted

[logical(1)]
Elements must be sorted in ascending order. Missing values are ignored.

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.

typed.missing

[logical(1)]
If set to FALSE (default), all types of missing values (NA, NA_integer_, NA_real_, NA_character_ or NA_character_) as well as empty vectors are allowed while type-checking atomic input. Set to TRUE to enable strict type checking.

null.ok

[logical(1)]
If set to TRUE, x may also be NULL. In this case only a type check of x is performed, all additional checks are disabled.

.var.name

[character(1)]
Name of the checked object to print in assertions. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

add

[AssertCollection]
Collection to store assertion messages. See AssertCollection.

info

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

label

[character(1)]
Name of the checked object to print in messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

Details

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