guess_time_only_filter {REDCapCAST}

Try at determining which are true time only variables

Description

This is just a try at guessing data type based on data class and column names hoping for a tiny bit of naming consistency. R does not include a time-only data format natively, so the "hms" class from 'readr' is used. This has to be converted to character class before REDCap upload.

Usage

guess_time_only_filter(
  data,
  validate = FALSE,
  sel.pos = "[Tt]i[d(me)]",
  sel.neg = "[Dd]at[eo]"
)

Arguments

data

data set

validate

flag to output validation data. Will output list.

sel.pos

Positive selection regex string

sel.neg

Negative selection regex string

Value

character vector or list depending on 'validate' flag.

Examples

data <- redcapcast_data
data |> guess_time_only_filter()
data |>
  guess_time_only_filter(validate = TRUE) |>
  lapply(head)
