Usage

plotVariables(data, dictionary, IDvar, vars, showOutliers = TRUE)

Value

A list of plots with one plot for each variable

Arguments

Optional, the data dictionary returned by importExcelData or readDataDict functions to provide plot titles

IDvar

Optional string indicating the name of an identifying variable to highlight outliers

if (FALSE) {
exampleDataFile <- system.file("extdata", "exampleData.xlsx", package = "exceldata")
import <- importExcelData(exampleDataFile,
dictionarySheet = 'DataDictionary',dataSheet = 'DataEntry')
dictionary <- import$dictionary
data <- import$data

# Simple univariate plots with outliers
plots <- plotVariables(data=data,dictionary=dictionary,IDvar = 'ID')
