Validating Data for Interpolation

ar_validate executes a series of logic tests for sf object status, shared coordinates between source and target data, appropriate project, and absence of variable name conflicts.

ar_validate(source, target, varList, method = "aw", verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

source	A sf object with data to be interpolated
target	A sf object that data should be interpolated to
varList	A vector of variable names to be added to the target object
method	The areal interpolation method validation is being performed for. This should be set to "aw". Additional functionality will be added as the package adds new interpolation techniques.
verbose	A logical scalar; if TRUE, a tibble with test results is returned

Value

If verbose is FALSE, a logical scalar is returned that is TRUE is all tests are passed and FALSE if one or more tests is failed. If verbose is TRUE, a tibble with detailed test results is returned.

Examples

ar_validate(source = ar_stl_asthma, target = ar_stl_wards, varList = "ASTHMA")
#> [1] TRUE

ar_validate(source = ar_stl_asthma, target = ar_stl_wards, varList = "ASTHMA", verbose = TRUE)
#> # A tibble: 6 x 2
#>   test                            result
#>   <chr>                           <lgl> 
#> 1 sf Objects                      TRUE  
#> 2 CRS Match                       TRUE  
#> 3 CRS is Planar                   TRUE  
#> 4 Variables Exist in Source       TRUE  
#> 5 No Variable Conflicts in Target TRUE  
#> 6 Overall Evaluation              TRUE
