Creates plots and outputs results to a letter-sized pdf file, with each
individual page containing plots on a single variable in the data. In
addition, two summary statistics data.table
are returned, one for
numerical variables, and one for categorical (and binary) ones.
PrintPlots(outFl, dataFl, sortVars, dateNm, dateGp, dateGpBp, weightNm = NULL,
labelFl = NULL, genCSV = TRUE, highlightNms = NULL, skewOpt = NULL,
kSample = 50000, fuzzyLabelFn = NULL, kCategories = 9)
Name of the output file, with no extension names (e.g., "bank").
A pdf file of plots ("bank.pdf"), and two csv files of summary statistics
("bank_categorical_summary.csv" and "bank_numerical_summary.csv") will be
saved to your working directory, unless a path is included in outFl
(e.g. "../plots/bank").
A data.table
containing at least the following columns:
myVar
, weightNm
, dateGp
, dateGpBp
; usually an
output of the PrepData
function.
A character vector of variable names in the order they will be plotted.
Name of column containing the date variable.
Name of the variable that the time series plots should be
grouped by. Options are NULL
, "weeks"
, "months"
,
"quarters"
, "years"
. See IDate
for
details. If NULL
, then dateNm
will be used as dateGp
.
Name of variable the boxplots should be grouped by. Same
options as dateGp
. If NULL
, then dateGp
will be used.
Name of the variable containing row weights, or NULL
for
no weights (all rows receiving weight 1).
A data.table
containing variable labels, or NULL
for no labels; usually an output of PrepLabels
.
Logical, whether to generate the two csv files of summary statistics for numerical and categorical variables.
Either NULL
or a character vector of variables to
recieve red label. Currently NULL
means all variables will get a
black legend. Ignored this argument if labelFl == NULL
.
Either a numeric constant or NULL
. Default is
NULL
(no transformation). If numeric, say 5, then all box plots of
a variable whose skewness exceeds 5 will be on a log10 scale if possible.
Negative input of skewOpt
will be converted to 3.
Either NULL
or a positive integer. If an integer,
indicates the sample size for both drawing boxplots and ordering numerical
graphs by \(R^2\). When the data is large, setting kSample
to a
reasonable value (default is 50K) dramatically improves processing speed.
Therefore, for larger datasets (e.g. > 10 percent system memory), this
parameter should not be set to NULL
, or boxplots may take a very
long time to render. This setting has no impact on the accuracy of time
series plots on quantiles, mean, SD, and missing and zero rates.
Either NULL
or a function of 2 parameters: A label
file in the format of an output by PrepLabels
and a string
giving a variable name. The function should return the label corresponding
to the variable given by the second parameter. This function should
describe how fuzzy matching should be performed to find labels (see example
below). If NULL
, only exact matches will be retuned.
If a categorical variable has more than kCategories
,
trace plots of only the kCategories
most prevalent categories are
plotted.
A pdf of plots saved to file outFl
.pdf, and if the argument
genCSV == TRUE
, also two csv files of summary statistics for
numerical and categorical variables.
