remove NA values from list elements

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.

Value

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.
