encode_binary {cleandata}

Encode Binary Data Into 0 and 1

Description

Encodes binary data into 0 and 1. Optionally records the result into a log file.

Usage

encode_binary(x, out.int=FALSE, full_print=TRUE, log = eval.parent(in_log_default))

Arguments

x

The data frame

out.int

Whether to convert encoded x to integers. Only set to TRUE when no NA in x because NAs in x causes error when converting to integers. By default, the encoded x is factorial.

full_print

When set to FALSE, only print minimum information. A full output includes summary of x before and after encoding.

log

Controls log files. To produce log files, assign it or the log_arg variable in the parent environment (dynamic scope) a list of arguments for sink(), such as file, append, and split.

Value

An encoded data frame.

Warning

x can only be a data frame. Don't pass a vector to it.
