Compare Vintage Versions for Multiple Auxiliary Data Files

compare_aux_vintages.Rd

This function wraps around compare_vintage_versions() to apply it across multiple auxiliary data measures. It is useful for tracking within-release changes across several files.

Usage

compare_aux_vintages(
  measures = NULL,
  version = -1,
  root_dir = Sys.getenv("PIP_ROOT_DIR"),
  maindir = getOption("pipaux.working_dir"),
  verbose = FALSE,
  apply_label = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

measures

Character vector. Names of auxiliary data measures to compare (e.g., c("gdp", "pop", "pfw")).

version

Integer. Indicates how many versions before the latest to compare with (e.g., -1 for previous).

root_dir

Character. Root directory where the release data is stored. Defaults to Sys.getenv("PIP_ROOT_DIR").

maindir

Character. Path to the main auxiliary data directory. Defaults to the pipaux.working_dir option.

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, messages about the comparison process are printed.

apply_label

Logical. Whether to apply labels when loading data. Defaults to TRUE.

...

Additional arguments passed to compare_vintage_versions().

Value

(Invisibly) A named list of results from compare_vintage_versions(), one per measure.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
compare_aux_vintages(measures = c("cpi", "pop", "gdp"))
} # }
