Description

Usage

somel(data, n = 6L)

Arguments

data

a data.frame.

n

the number of random rows of the data.frame to return.

Details

somel is inspired by the function some from the car package. See also headl and taill.

Value

a data.frame.

Examples

# make toy demographic (gender, raceth, etc.) data set
set.seed(555)
df <- make_demo_data(n = 1000) # another labelr:: function
# let's add variable VALUE labels for variable "raceth"
df <- add_val_labs(df,
  vars = "raceth", vals = c(1:7),
  labs = c("White", "Black", "Hispanic", "Asian", "AIAN", "Multi", "Other"),
  max.unique.vals = 50
)

# let's add variable VALUE labels for variable "gender"
# note that, if we are labeling a single variable, we can use add_val1()
# distinction between add_val1() and add_val_labs() will become more meaningful
# when we get to our Likert example
df <- add_val1(
  data = df, gender, vals = c(0, 1, 2, 3, 4),
  labs = c("M", "F", "TR", "NB", "Diff-Term"), max.unique.vals = 50
)

somel(df) # six random rows with value labels visible
