Process homogeneous batch data.
This function turns a list of data obtained from the Avant API in
homogeneous format into a data.frame. Here, homogeneous refers
to a list of lists with the first element of the list being a character
vector of column names, and subsequent list elements being lists of
values in the correct order and of the same length as the names vector.
homogeneous_recombinator(dat, id = "id")
dat |
list. The list of lists to process. The first list element is a character vector of variable names, and subsequent elements are lists of variable values ordered by these variable names. |
id |
character. Primary key, by default |
For example,
list(c('variable_one', 'variable_two'), list(1, 'a'), list(2, 'b'))
refers to a data set with two variables with two rows, the first variable
having c(1,2) and the latter having 'a', 'b'.
If the list of lists is not formatted in this way, the function performs
no error handling and will likely return a malformed data.frame.
the formatted data.frame
pre_dataframe <- list(c('variable_one', 'variable_two'), list(1, 'a'), list(2, 'b'))
df <- homogeneous_recombinator(pre_dataframe)
# 2 by 2 dataframe w/ c(1,2), c('a','b') in the columns, respectively.Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
