best_duplicate: Choose the best duplicate

Description

Chooses the best duplicate, based on the duplicate with the smallest number of missing values. In case of ties, it picks the first duplicate, as it is the one most likely to be valid and authentic, given practice effects.

Usage

best_duplicate(data, id, keep.rows = FALSE)

Value

A dataframe, containing only the "best" duplicates.

Arguments

data

The data frame.

id

The ID variable for which to check for duplicates.

keep.rows

Logical, whether to add a column at the beginning of the data frame with the original row indices.

Examples

df1 <- data.frame(
  id = c(1, 2, 3, 1, 3),
  item1 = c(NA, 1, 1, 2, 3),
  item2 = c(NA, 1, 1, 2, 3),
  item3 = c(NA, 1, 1, 2, 3)
)

best_duplicate(df1, id = "id", keep.rows = TRUE)
