Go through all R help pages on each NORDCAN R package

[WetRobot]

Instructions

• For each package, start with help(package = "nordcancore") (replacing package name of course)
• Read through every help page
• If you did not understand what you need to do to use the function correctly, make a note to yourself (e.g. it was not clear what I should pass to argument "x" in function "my_fun")
• Report any ambiguous help pages by leaving a complete list of such instances in one comment under this issue
• Deadline: Friday 6th

NORDCANCORE

/library/nordcancore/html/assertions.html

Unclear what the functions do, the functions themselves are exactly the same and the input description is same as well

_/library/nordcancore/html/package_datautils.html

Difference between exported and internal?

_/library/nordcancore/html/nordcancolumns.html

Strange formulations: name of column name names of all column name sets

_/library/nordcancore/html/randomnames.html

one may need to give (up?) if for some reason there are so many names to avoid or the pool of characters is so small that no random name can be generated

NORDCANPREPROCESSING

_/library/nordcanpreprocessing/html/reports_assertionstests.html

What is x if not dataset_name?

_/library/nordcanpreprocessing/html/enrich_nordcan_cancer_recorddataset.html

Perhaps clickable links, if possible. In addition the first contains nothing.

BASICEPISTATS

_/library/basicepistats/html/stattable.html

as.stat_table(x, stratum_col_nms, value_col_nms)

S3 method for class 'data.frame'

as.stat_table(x, stratum_col_nms, value_col_nms) What is the difference between the two?

stat_table_meta, stat_table_stratum_col_nms stat_table_value_col_nms: object to extract stat_table meta data from Comma missing between the second and the third?

NORDCANEPISTATS

_/library/nordcanepistats/html/write_nordcan_statisticstables.html

log1 and log2 are NOT saved

Both are containing logs. Also the main function already has defined argument purpose = "archive", shouldn't this argument only be defined in the functions using this functions.

Comment: I am not sure if I am representative for such a task since I have used many of the functions and have a better understanding to begin with.
