0.4.10

Features

• Added new function dh.quartileSplit, to split continuous variable into quartiles.

Documentation

• Changed the argument options in dh.makeIQR to be consistent with other dsHelper functions.

Chores

• Moved some auxiliary functions from dh.makeStrata into utils so that they can be used by other dsHelper functions.

0.4.9

Bug fixes

• Fixed dh.tidyEnv where type = 'remove'. Had previously broken by removing half the code.
• Fixed bug in dh.dropCols where regex was breaking
• In dh.makeStrata, changed naming convention of output variables to ensure unique variable names.

Documentation

• Shortened package description.

0.4.8

Performance

• Greatly simplified code in dh.findVarsIndex

0.4.7

Bug fixes

• With dh.classDiscrepancy, allow non-existing variables to be specified in vars. This will return a class of 'NULL'

0.4.6

Chores

• Added additional repository

0.4.5

Chores

• Removed stray files in directory

0.4.4

Bug fixes

• Changed functionality in dh.tidyEnv: if objects are provided with name length >20 characters these are ignored and warning returned. Previously threw an error.
• Re-written dh.makeStrata to ensure that no temporary variables are created with a name length >20 characters.
• Fixed error in dh.defineCases. The wrong boolean operator was used which meant all cases were returned as valid.

0.4.3

Chores:

• Renamed the last step.
• Tweaked the process to removing missing values to ensure this was only based on the age and subset variable, not any initial variable specified to keep

Bugfixes

• Fixed a couple of bugs where arguments were hard coded instead of dynamic

0.4.2

Bugfixes

• Replaced dplyr function which won't work on the analysis server

0.4.1

• Rewritten all documentation to be clearer and consistent across functions.
• Renamed some argument to be consistent across functions. E.g. the name of a new object is always specified by "new_obj". Old argument names have been deprecated but can still be used until version 1.0.
• Refactored and improved efficiency of dh.makeOutcome. This has also now been renamed to "dh.makeStrata" to be more informative and general a name. dh.makeOutcome has been deprecated and will remain useable until version 1.0.
• dh.makeStrata now has the additional functionality to specify additional variables to keep within each age band.
• dh.subjHasData has been made defunct. A improved version of the function has been written called dh.defineCases.
• Two vignettes have been added demonstrating the use of all dsHelper functions.
