rmNAs function

remove NA values from list elements

rmNAs(
  x,
  naValue = NULL,
  rmNULL = FALSE,
  nullValue = naValue,
  rmInfinite = TRUE,
  infiniteValue = NULL,
  rmNAnames = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• x: list of vectors
• naValue: NULL or single replacement value for NA entries. If NULL, then NA entries are removed from the result.
• rmNULL: logical whether to replace NULL entries with nullValue
• nullValue: NULL or single replacement value for NULL entries. If NULL, then NULL entries are removed from the result.
• rmInfinite: logical whether to replace Infinite values with infiniteValue
• infiniteValue: value to use when rmInfinite==TRUE to replace entries which are Inf or -Inf.
• rmNAnames: logical whether to remove entries which have NA as the name, regardless whether the entry itself is NA.
• verbose: logical whether to print verbose output
• ...: additional arguments are ignored.

Returns

list where NA entries were removed or replaced with naValue

in each vector. Empty list elements are optionally removed when rmNULL=TRUE, or replaced with nullValue when defined. When rmInfinite=TRUE then infinite values are either removed, or replaced with infiniteValue when defined.

Details

This function removes NA values from vectors in a list, applying the same logic used in rmNA() to each vector. It is somewhat optimized, in that it checks for list elements that have NA values before applying rmNA(). However, it calls rmNA() iteratively on each vector that contains NA in order to preserve the class (factor, character, numeric, etc.) of each vector.

It also optionally applies convenience functions rmNULL()

and rmInfinite() as relevant.

Examples

testlist <- list(
   A=c(1, 4, 5, NA, 11),
   B=c("B", NA, "C", "Test"))
rmNAs(testlist)

testlist2 <- list(
   A=c(1, 4, 5, NA, 11, Inf),
   B=c(11, NA, 19, -Inf))
rmNAs(testlist2, naValue=-100, infiniteValue=1000)
