| homogeneous_recombinator {recombinator} | R Documentation |
Process homogeneous batch data.
Description
This function turns a list of data obtained from the Avant API in
homogeneous format into a data.frame. Here, homogeneous refers
to a list of lists with the first element of the list being a character
vector of column names, and subsequent list elements being lists of
values in the correct order and of the same length as the names vector.
Usage
homogeneous_recombinator(dat, id = "id")
Arguments
dat |
list. The list of lists to process. The first list element is a character vector of variable names, and subsequent elements are lists of variable values ordered by these variable names. |
id |
character. Primary key, by default |
Details
For example,
list(c('variable_one', 'variable_two'), list(1, 'a'), list(2, 'b'))
refers to a data set with two variables with two rows, the first variable
having c(1,2) and the latter having 'a', 'b'.
If the list of lists is not formatted in this way, the function performs
no error handling and will likely return a malformed data.frame.
Value
the formatted data.frame
Examples
pre_dataframe <- list(c('variable_one', 'variable_two'), list(1, 'a'), list(2, 'b'))
df <- homogeneous_recombinator(pre_dataframe)
# 2 by 2 dataframe w/ c(1,2), c('a','b') in the columns, respectively.
