Define_sVar: R6 class for parsing and evaluating node R expressions.
Description
This R6 class will parse and evaluate (in the environment of the input data) the node formulas defined by function
node.
The node formula expressions (stored in exprs_list) are evaluated in the environment of the input data.frame.
Methods
new(netind_cl- Instantiates new object of class
Define_sVar.
netind_cl is the input network stored in an object of class NetIndClass. set.new.exprs(exprs_list)- Sets the internal node formula expressions to the list provided in
exprs_list. eval.nodeforms(cur.node, data.df)- Evaluate the expressions one by one, returning a list with evaluated expressions.
cur.node is the current node object defined with function node and data.df is the input data.frame. df.names(data.df)- List of variables in the input data
data.df gets assigned to a special variable
(ANCHOR_ALLVARNMS_VECTOR_0).
Details
exprs_list - Deparsed list of node formula expressions (as strings).
user.env - Captured user-environment from calls to node that will be used as enclosing environment during evaluation.
cur.node - Current evaluation node (set by self$eval.nodeforms())
asis.flags - List of flags, TRUE for "as is" node expression evaluation
ReplMisVal0 - A logical vector that captures args replaceNAw0=TRUE/FALSE in node function call.
If TRUE for a particular node formula in exprs_list then all missing network VarNode
values (when nF[i] < Kmax) will get replaced with with corresponding value in codesVar.misXreplace (default is 0).
sVar.misXreplace - Replacement values for missing sVar, vector of length(exprs_list).
netind_cl - Pointer to a network instance of class simcausal::NetIndClass.
Kmax - Maximum number of friends for any observation.
Nsamp - Sample size (nrows) of the simulation dataset.
node_fun - List that contains special subsetting functions '[' and '[[', where '['
is used for subsetting time-varyng nodes and '[[' is used for subsetting network covariate values.
