How to Automate Data Cleaning with R and Suppress Warnings for Missing Values
Step 1: Define a function to check for invalid values We can create a function is_invalid that checks if a value is in the list of no-valid values. This function will be used as an argument to the mutate function. is_invalid <- function(x, no_valid_values) { x %in% no_valid_values } Step 2: Define the list of no-valid values We need to define a list of words that represent “unknown” or typos. For this example, we’ll use c("unknow", "N/A").
