Package 'dropout'

Detect Instances of Dropout in Data

Description

The drop_detect function detects participants who drop out of the survey by recognizing NA sequences up to the last question of the survey. Additionally, the function provides the column name and index where the dropout occurs.

Usage

drop_detect(data)

Arguments

data	A dataframe in which to detect instances of dropout.

Value

A dataframe containing the following columns:

• drop: A logical value indicating whether dropout has occurred (TRUE for dropout, FALSE otherwise).

• drop_index: The index of the column where dropout occurred (NA if no dropout).

• column: The name of the column where the dropout occurred (⁠<NA>⁠ if no dropout).

Examples

## Not run: 
# Example usage with the 'flying' dataframe
detect_result <- drop_detect(flying)
print(detect_result)

## End(Not run)

Summarize Missing Data Metrics for Each Column

Description

The drop_summary function generates a summary of missing data (NA values) for each column in a dataframe. It computes various metrics such as the number of dropout participants, section NAs, the mode length of those missing value sections for, and the proportion of complete cases for each column.

Usage

drop_summary(data)

Arguments

data	A dataframe for which to analyze missing data.

Details

The function calls a C API to compute some metrics, which are then processed and returned as a summary dataframe.

Value

A dataframe containing the following columns:

• column: The name of each column in the input dataframe.

• drop: The number of dropped rows (missing values) for that column.

• sec_na: The number of sections of consecutive NAs for that column.

• sec_length: The mode (most frequent length) of sections of consecutive NAs for that column.

• single_na: The number of single NA values (isolated missing values) for that column.

• na: The total number of missing (NA) values for that column.

• complete: The proportion of complete rows for that column, where a value of 1 means no missing data, and values closer to 0 mean more missing data.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Example usage with the 'flying' dataframe
summary_result <- drop_summary(flying)
print(summary_result)

## End(Not run)
