Issue with getData/rebindAttributes on TALIS data

[AndersAstrup]

---

Hello

I am working with some TALIS 2018 data, and I can't analyze data that I have manipulated with getData + rebindAttributes. Seems to me that the issue is related to a check of attributes of plausible values , which there are none of in TALIS 2018.

I am wondering if there is an easy way to fix this, or to bypass that check for plausible values, if i am correct that this is the source of the issue?

Below is a few lines of codes that should reproduce the issue.

Thank you all for the work on EdSurvey /Anders

library(EdSurvey) #version 3.1.0
#Load data
usa <- readTALIS(getwd(), countries = "usa", isced = "b", dataLevel = "teacher")
#Call getData with a few variables
usadata <- getData(usa,varnames = c("tc3g01","t3clain","tchwgt"))
#Rebind attributes
usa2 <- rebindAttributes(usadata,usa)
#analysis of this object gives error "Error in getAttributes(data, "pvvars") : Attribute pvvars not found."
lm.sdf(t3clain~tc3g01,usa2)
#It does not give any error with the original object
lm.sdf(t3clain~tc3g01,usa)

Just FYI, we're still looking at this. I think we'll need to make a new version of EdSurvey.

Try installing the development version now. It should be fixed.

# You can install the development version from GitHub with:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("American-Institutes-for-Research/edsurvey")

See NEWS item as well https://github.com/American-Institutes-for-Research/EdSurvey/blob/main/inst/NEWS.Rd#L11

Thanks, again, for reporting this.

I'm closing this, but feel free to reopen it if there is a problem

Dear Paul.

Thank you for the quick reply to this.

However, it seems I cannot install the latest version from GitHub, I have tried on two different machines. I apologize if this is a problem on my end!

Below is the output from my attempt to install it, and the sessionInfo() below that.

All the best, Anders

@AndersAstrup sorry about that. I think I fixed it now. I just tested and it worked for me.
