ParamHelpers (version 1.12)

paramValueToString: Convert a value to a string.

Description

Useful helper for logging. For discrete parameter values always the name of the discrete value is used.

Usage

paramValueToString(par, x, show.missing.values = FALSE,
  num.format = "%.3g")

Arguments

par

[Param | ParamSet] Parameter or parameter set.

x

[any] Value for parameter or value for parameter set. In the latter case it must be named list. For discrete parameters their values must be used, not their names.

show.missing.values

[logical(1)] Display “NA” for parameters, which have no setting, because their requirements are not satisfied (dependent parameters), instead of displaying nothing? Default is FALSE.

num.format

[character(1)] Number format for output of numeric parameters. See the details section of the manual for sprintf for details.

Value

[character(1)].

Examples

# NOT RUN {
p = makeNumericParam("x")
paramValueToString(p, 1)
paramValueToString(p, 1.2345)
paramValueToString(p, 0.000039)
paramValueToString(p, 8.13402, num.format = "%.2f")

p = makeIntegerVectorParam("x", len=2)
paramValueToString(p, c(1L, 2L))

p = makeLogicalParam("x")
paramValueToString(p, TRUE)

p = makeDiscreteParam("x", values=list(a=NULL, b=2))
paramValueToString(p, NULL)

ps = makeParamSet(
  makeNumericVectorParam("x", len=2L),
  makeDiscreteParam("y", values=list(a=NULL, b=2))
)
paramValueToString(ps, list(x=c(1,2), y=NULL))
# }
