BooleDS: BooleDS

Description

Converts the individual elements of a vector or other object into Boolean indicators.

Usage

BooleDS(
  V1.name = NULL,
  V2.name = NULL,
  Boolean.operator.n = NULL,
  na.assign.text,
  numeric.output = TRUE
)

Value

the levels of the input variable.

Arguments

V1.name

A character string specifying the name of the vector to which the Boolean operator is to be applied

V2.name

A character string specifying the name of the vector or scalar to which <V1> is to be compared.

Boolean.operator.n

An integer value (1 to 6) providing a numeric coding for the character string specifying one of six possible Boolean operators: '==', '!=', '>', '>=','<', '<=' that could legally be passed from client to server via DataSHIELD parser

na.assign.text

A character string taking values 'NA', '1' or '0'. If 'NA' then any NA values in the input vector remain as NAs in the output vector. If '1' or '0' NA values in the input vector are all converted to 1 or 0 respectively.

numeric.output

a TRUE/FALSE indicator defaulting to TRUE determining whether the final output variable should be of class numeric (1/0) or class logical (TRUE/FALSE).
