Execute a Derivation on a Subset of the Input Dataset

Source: R/restrict_derivation.R
restrict_derivation.Rd

Execute a derivation on a subset of the input dataset.

Usage

restrict_derivation(dataset, derivation, args = NULL, filter)

Arguments

dataset

Input dataset

derivation

Derivation

A function that performs a specific derivation is expected. A derivation adds variables or observations to a dataset. The first argument of a derivation must expect a dataset and the derivation must return a dataset. The function must provide the dataset argument and all arguments specified in the params() objects passed to the arg argument.

Please note that it is not possible to specify {dplyr} functions like mutate() or summarize().

args

Arguments of the derivation

A params() object is expected.

filter

Filter condition
