Inspect or change PRECISION.

Usage

px_precision(x, value, validate)

# S3 method for class 'px'
px_precision(x, value, validate = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A px object

value

Optional. A data frame with the columns 'precision' and one or more of the columns: 'variable-code', and 'code'. If 'value' is missing, the current PRECISION is returned. If NULL, PRECISION is removed.

validate

Optional. If TRUE a number of validation checks are performed on the px object, and an error is thrown if the object is not valid. If FALSE, the checks are skipped, which can be usefull for large px objects where the check can be time consuming. Use px_validate() to manually preform the check.

Value

A px object or data frame.

Examples

# Set PRECISION for a variable
library(tibble)
x1 <-
  population_gl |>
  px() |>
  px_precision(tribble(~`variable-code`, ~precision,
                       'gender', 2))

# Print PRECISION
px_precision(x1)
#> # A tibble: 2 × 3
#>   `variable-code` code   precision
#>   <chr>           <chr>      <dbl>
#> 1 gender          female         2
#> 2 gender          male           2

# Set PRECISION for a value
x2 <-
  x1 |>
  px_precision(tribble(~`variable-code`, ~code, ~precision,
                       'age', '2004', 3))
px_precision(x2)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 3
#>   `variable-code` code   precision
#>   <chr>           <chr>      <dbl>
#> 1 gender          female         2
#> 2 gender          male           2
#> 3 age             2004           3

# Remove PRECISION
x3 <- px_precision(x2, NULL)
px_precision(x3)
#> NULL
