datawizard 0.4.0

MAJOR CHANGES

• data_match() now returns filtered data by default. Old behavior (returning
  rows indices) can be set by setting return_indices = TRUE.

• The following functions are now re-exported from {insight} package:
  object_has_names(), object_has_rownames(), is_empty_object(),
  compact_list(), compact_character()

• data_findcols() will become deprecated in future updates. Please use the
  new replacements find_columns() and get_columns().

• The vignette Analysing Longitudinal or Panel Data has now moved to
  parameters package.

NEW FUNCTIONS

• To convert rownames to a column, and vice versa: rownames_as_column()
  and column_as_rownames() (@etiennebacher, #80).

• find_columns() and get_columns() to find column names or retrieve
  subsets of data frames, based on various select-methods (including
  select-helpers). These function will supersede data_findcols() in the
  future.

• data_filter() as complement for data_match(), which works with logical
  expressions for filtering rows of data frames.

• For computing weighted centrality measures and dispersion: weighted_mean(),
  weighted_median(), weighted_sd() and weighted_mad().

• To replace NA in vectors and dataframes: convert_na_to() (@etiennebacher, #111).

MINOR CHANGES

• The select argument in several functions (like data_remove(),
  reshape_longer(), or data_extract()) now allows the use of select-helpers
  for selecting variables based on specific patterns.

• data_extract() gains new arguments to allow type-safe return values,
  i.e. always return a vector or a data frame. Thus, data_extract()
  can now be used to select multiple variables or pull a single variable
  from data frames.

• data_match() gains a match argument, to indicate with which logical
  operation matching results should be combined.

• Improved support for labelled data for many functions, i.e. returned
  data frame will preserve value and variable label attributes, where
  possible and applicable.

• describe_distribution() now works with lists (@etiennebacher, #105).

• data_rename() doesn't use pattern anymore to rename the columns if
  replacement is not provided (@etiennebacher, #103).

• data_rename() now adds a suffix to duplicated names in replacement
  (@etiennebacher, #103).

BUG FIXES

• data_to_numeric() produced wrong results for factors when
  dummy_factors = TRUE and factor contained missing values.

• data_match() produced wrong results when data contained missing values.

• Fixed CRAN check issues in data_extract() when more than one variable
  was extracted from a data frame.
