foodquotient (version 0.1.1)

macros: Macronutrients

Description

The Macronutrients function takes the age of a participant and their responses on the hsffq to generate estimates of the participant's total daily protein, carbohydrate, and fat consumed for each food.

Usage

macros(row)

Value

the row or dataframe returned will have 3 entries, representing total daily amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fat for each participant

Arguments

row

vector with 86 entries consisting of 2 components f1:f85 1-9, representing different frequency factor responses from the hsffq. These will be stored in columns 2-86 in the row you plug in A value representing participant's age. This will be stored in column 1 of the input row

Examples

 random_integers <- sample(1:9, 85, replace=TRUE)
vec <- c(6.2, random_integers)
grams(vec)

rquestionnaire <- function(n, n_food_questions = 85) {
  mat <- matrix(
    sample(1:9, n_food_questions*n, replace = TRUE),
    nrow = n, ncol = n_food_questions
  )
  df <- data.frame( age = round(runif(n, 2, 11), digits = 1) )
  cbind(df, as.data.frame(mat))
}
df <- rquestionnaire(3)

df_results <- data.frame()
for (i in 1:nrow(df)) {
result <- macros(df[i,])
df_results <- rbind(df_results, result)
}
