Check what can be loaded
Using ILSAfile.info() we can identify different
populations within an ILSA.
Moreover, we can also use this information for loading an specific population into the memory. Using the ‘REDS’ 2021 example data provided by this package:
ILSAfile.info(inputdir = system.file("extdata/reds", package = "ILSAmerge"))
## Population Files MB
## 1 BCGV1 4 0.3
## 2 BSGV1 4 0.4
## 3 BTGV1 4 0.3Load all information
We can decide to load a population, like BCGV1, using
justload():
loaded <- justload(inputdir = system.file("extdata/reds", package = "ILSAmerge"),
population = "BCGV1")This will result in a list of elements loaded by haven,
in our example, a list of 11 elements:
class(loaded)
## [1] "list"
length(loaded)
## [1] 4
loaded[[1]]

For some purposes, we might need to load only the column information,
most probably to check if the attributes are correct. We can do this by
setting justattributes = TRUE:
loaded <- justload(inputdir = system.file("extdata/reds", package = "ILSAmerge"),
population = "BCGV1", justattributes = TRUE)This will load all 11 datasets with 0 rows each:
length(loaded)
