It can be useful to add special missing values, naniar supports this with
the recode_shadow
function.
Usage
recode_shadow(data, ...)
# S3 method for class 'data.frame'
recode_shadow(data, ...)
# S3 method for class 'grouped_df'
recode_shadow(data, ...)
Examples
df <- tibble::tribble(
~wind, ~temp,
-99, 45,
68, NA,
72, 25
)
dfs <- bind_shadow(df)
dfs
#> # A tibble: 3 × 4
#> wind temp wind_NA temp_NA
#> <dbl> <dbl> <fct> <fct>
#> 1 -99 45 !NA !NA
#> 2 68 NA !NA NA
#> 3 72 25 !NA !NA
recode_shadow(dfs, temp = .where(wind == -99 ~ "bananas"))
#> # A tibble: 3 × 4
#> wind temp wind_NA temp_NA
#> <dbl> <dbl> <fct> <fct>
#> 1 -99 45 !NA NA_bananas
#> 2 68 NA !NA NA
#> 3 72 25 !NA !NA
recode_shadow(dfs,
temp = .where(wind == -99 ~ "bananas")) %>%
recode_shadow(wind = .where(wind == -99 ~ "apples"))
