Overview

About

Maintained by Mike Malecki2 releasesCRAN page ↗

Stacks rectangular datasets on top of each other, possibly performing several type coercions along the way. For large datasets, depends on the ff package. Provides an aggressive version of ffbase::compact for data that may appear be real-typed but is in fact int/short/byte. For many purposes plyr::rbind.fill may be more appropriate, but for some kinds of survey data, the rules here work better.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Stack/Stack_2.0-1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "Stack_2.0-1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (2.0-1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
