COINr (version 1.1.14)

get_results: Results summary tables

Description

Generates fast results tables, either attached to the coin or as a data frame.

Usage

get_results(
  coin,
  dset,
  tab_type = "Summ",
  also_get = NULL,
  use = "scores",
  order_by = NULL,
  nround = 2,
  use_group = NULL,
  dset_indicators = NULL,
  out2 = "df"
)

Value

If out2 = "df", the results table is returned as a data frame. If out2 = "coin", this function returns an updated coin with the results table attached to .$Results.

Arguments

coin

The coin object, or a data frame of indicator data

dset

Name of data set in .$Data

tab_type

The type of table to generate. Either "Summ" (a single indicator plus rank), "Aggs" (all aggregated scores/ranks above indicator level), or "Full" (all scores/ranks plus all group, denominator columns).

also_get

Names of further columns to attach to table.

use

Either "scores" (default), "ranks", or "groupranks". For the latter, use_group must be specified.

order_by

A code of the indicator or aggregate to sort the table by. If not specified, defaults to the highest aggregate level, i.e. the index in most cases. If use_group is specified, rows will also be sorted by the specified group.

nround

The number of decimal places to round numerical values to. Defaults to 2.

use_group

An optional grouping variable. If specified, the results table includes this group column, and if use = "groupranks", ranks will be returned with respect to the groups in this column.

dset_indicators

Optional data set from which to take only indicator (level 1) data from. This can be set to "Raw" for example, so that all aggregates come from the aggregated data set, and the indicators come from the raw data set. This can make more sense in presenting results in many cases, so that the "real" indicator data is visible.

out2

If "df", outputs a data frame (tibble). Else if "coin" attaches to .$Results in an updated coin.

Details

Although results are available in a coin in .$Data, the format makes it difficult to quickly present results. This function generates results tables that are suitable for immediate presentation, i.e. sorted by index or other indicators, and only including relevant columns. Scores are also rounded by default, and there is the option to present scores or ranks.

See also vignette("results") for more info.

This function replaces the now-defunct getResults() from COINr < v1.0.

Examples

# build full example coin
coin <- build_example_coin(quietly = TRUE)

# get results table
df_results <- get_results(coin, dset = "Aggregated", tab_type = "Aggs")

head(df_results)
