Source: R/nested.R
is_complete.Rd

This function checks if a variable is complete within another variable. If all levels of the first variable appear in all levels of the second variable, it returns TRUE; otherwise, it returns FALSE. The function can also handle NA values based on the na.rm parameter.

Usage

is_complete(x, y, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x, y

Vectors of the same size where x (child variable) is checked for completeness within y (parent variable)

na.rm

Remove NA values when checking for completeness.

Value

TRUE if the values in vector x are complete

Examples

df <- data.frame(
  site = c("A", "A", "B", "B"),
  plot1 = c("A1", "A2", "B1", "B2"),
  plot2 = c("A1", "A2", "A1", "A2")
)
is_complete(df$plot1, df$site) # FALSE
#> [1] FALSE
is_complete(df$plot2, df$site) # TRUE
#> [1] TRUE
