extractDataOld {eatGADS}

Extract Data while merging linking errors.

Description

Support for linking error data bases has been removed from eatGADS. extractDataOld provides (for the time being) backwards compatibility, so linking errors can still be merged automatically.

Usage

extractDataOld(
  GADSdat,
  convertMiss = TRUE,
  convertLabels = "character",
  dropPartialLabels = TRUE,
  convertVariables = NULL
)

Arguments

GADSdat

A GADSdat object.

convertMiss

Should values coded as missing values be recoded to NA?

convertLabels

If "numeric", values remain as numerics. If "factor" or "character", values are recoded to their labels. Corresponding variable type is applied.

dropPartialLabels

Should value labels for partially labeled variables be dropped? If TRUE, the partial labels will be dropped. If FALSE, the variable will be converted to the class specified in convertLabels.

convertVariables

Character vector of variables names, which labels should be applied to. If not specified (default), value labels are applied to all variables for which labels are available. Variable names not in the actual GADS are silently dropped.

Details

See extractData for the current functionality.

Value

Returns a data frame.
