Derive Variables by Transposing and Merging a Second Dataset

Source: R/derive_vars_transposed.R
derive_vars_transposed.Rd

Adds variables from a vertical dataset after transposing it into a wide one.

Usage 

derive_vars_transposed(
  dataset,
  dataset_merge,
  by_vars,
  id_vars = NULL,
  key_var,
  value_var,
  filter = NULL,
  relationship = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

Input dataset

The variables specified by the by_vars argument are expected to be in the dataset.

dataset_merge

Dataset to transpose and merge

The variables specified by the by_vars, id_vars, key_var and value_var arguments are expected. The variables by_vars, id_vars, key_var have to be a unique key.

by_vars

Grouping variables

Keys used to merge dataset_merge with dataset.

id_vars

ID variables

Variables (excluding by_vars) that uniquely identify each observation in dataset_merge.

Permitted Values: list of variables created by exprs() e.g. exprs(USUBJID, VISIT)

key_var

The variable of dataset_merge containing the names of the transposed variables

value_var

The variable of dataset_merge containing the values of the transposed variables

filter

Expression used to restrict the records of dataset_merge prior to transposing

relationship

Expected merge-relationship between the by_vars variable(s) in dataset and dataset_merge (after transposition)

This argument is passed to the dplyr::left_join() function. See https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/mutate-joins.html#arguments for more details.

Permitted Values: "one-to-one", "one-to-many", "many-to-one", "many-to-many", NULL

Value

The input dataset with transposed variables from dataset_merge added

Details

After filtering dataset_merge based upon the condition provided in filter, this dataset is transposed and subsequently merged onto dataset using by_vars as keys.
