Details

In EDP, columns in a population have "stat types." Numeric columns are usually "realAdditive" and "realMultiplicative". Factors are usually "categorical." These functions get and set the stat type on a data frame you will build a population from; you can also get the stat type of a column from select or simulate.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  d <- data.frame(x = c(1000, NA, 10000))
  stat_type(d$x) <- "realMultiplicative"
  st <- stat_type(d$x)  # returns "realMultiplicative"
  
# }
