assignv_to_aaw {gmoTree}

Assign a variable to all_apps_wide

Description

Assign a variable from one of the app data frames to all_apps_wide.

Usage

assignv_to_aaw(oTree, app, variable, newvar, resafter = NULL)

Arguments

oTree

A list of data frames that were created by import_otree().

app

Character. The data frame from which the variable is taken.

variable

Character. The name of the variable that should be assigned to all_apps_wide.

newvar

Character. The name of the newly created variable in the all_apps_wide data frame.

resafter

Character. The name of the variable that precedes the new variable. If NULL, the new variable will be placed at the end of the data frame.

Value

This function returns a duplicate of the original oTree list of data frames but with an additional column in the all_apps_wide data frame that contains the variable in question.

Examples

# Use package-internal list of oTree data frames
oTree <- gmoTree::oTree

# Create a new variable
oTree$survey$younger30 <- ifelse(oTree$survey$player.age < 30, 0, 1)

# Assign the variable younger30 to all_apps_wide
oTree2 <- assignv_to_aaw(
  oTree = oTree,
  app = "survey",
  variable = "younger30",
  newvar = "younger30")

# Show the new variable in the all_apps_wide data frame
oTree2$all_apps_wide$younger30

# Check the position of the new variable
match("younger30",names(oTree2$all_apps_wide))

# Place the new variable immediately after the "survey.1.player.age" variable
oTree2 <- assignv_to_aaw(oTree,
                        app = "survey",
                        variable = "younger30",
                        newvar = "younger30",
                        resafter = "survey.1.player.age")

# Show the new variable in the all_apps_wide data frame
oTree2$all_apps_wide$younger30

# Show the position of the new variable
match("younger30", names(oTree2$all_apps_wide))
