datacheck
Tools for Checking Data Consistency
Functions to check variables against a set of data quality rules. A rule file can be accompanied by look-up tables. In addition, there are some convenience functions that may serve as an example for defining clearer 'data rules'. An HTML based user interface facilitates initial exploration of the functionality.
The package provides functionality to check variables against a set of basic format rules. This is useful in data migration or data cleaning to quickly check assumptions about data types and content.
See the file in vignettes/index.md for a complete example on how to use.
