Overview

About

Maintained by "Simon, Reinhard (CIP)"CRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Functions to check variables against a set of data quality rules. A rule file can be accompanied by look-up tables. In addition, there are some convenience functions that may serve as an example for defining clearer 'data rules'. An HTML based user interface facilitates initial exploration of the functionality.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/datacheck/datacheck_1.2.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "datacheck_1.2.2.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 (1.2.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("c5sire/datacheck")

Development version from c5sire/datacheck. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
