Function to cast datasets columns if they have differing types Restricted to specific cases, currently integer and double, and character and factor
cast_variables(BASE, COMPARE, ignore_vars = NULL, cast_integers = FALSE, cast_factors = FALSE)
| BASE | base dataset |
|---|---|
| COMPARE | comparison dataset |
| ignore_vars | Variables not to be considered for casting |
| cast_integers | Logical - Whether integers should be cased to double when compared to doubles |
| cast_factors | Logical - Whether characters should be casted to characters when compared to characters |
