R Documentation

Test if two `GADSdat` objects are (nearly) equal

Description

Run tests to check whether two GADSdat objects are (nearly) equal. Variable names, number of rows in the data, meta data and data differences are checked and reported as a list output.

Usage

equalGADS(
  target,
  current,
  id = NULL,
  metaExceptions = c("display_width", "labeled"),
  tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps)
)

Arguments

`target`	A `GADSdat` object.
`current`	A `GADSdat` object.
`id`	A character vector of length 1 containing the unique identifier column of both `GADSdat`. If specified, both `GADSdat` are ordered according to `ID` before comparing their data.
`metaExceptions`	Should certain meta data columns be excluded from the comparison?
`tolerance`	A numeric value greater than or equal to `0`. Differences smaller than `tolerance` are not reported. The default value is close to `1.5e-8`.

Details

More detailed checks for individual variables can be performed via inspectDifferences and inspectMetaDifferences.

Value

Returns a list.
