incadata

Package to handle datasets in INCA format

The package is primarly used to create a new data object of class "incadata" (inharating from class "tbl" in dplyr). All variables are coerced to suitable classes based on their format. Dates are recognised as dates (through the rccdates package), logical variables (with values "" and "True" in INCA) will be boolean, variablev with names ending in "_Beskrivning" and "_Varde" will be factors, variable with name "PERSNR" will be coerced to "pin" (by the "sweidnumbr" package) etcetera.

Install

The package is primarly intended for use as a part of the rcc2 package but can also be installed independently:

devtools::install_bitbucket("cancercentrum/incadata")
