Prepare microdata inputs for assembly

Prepares data inputs to pass to assemble. Harmonizes common variables for the specified donor and recipient surveys, imputes PUMA for donor records, and samples location variables for recipient records.

Usage

prepare(
  donor,
  recipient,
  respondent,
  implicates = 1,
  collapse = FALSE,
  ncores = getOption("fusionData.cores")
)

Arguments

donor

Character. Donor survey identifier (e.g. "RECS_2015").

recipient

Character. Recipient (ACS) survey identifier (e.g. "ACS_2015").

respondent

Character. Desired respondent level of microdata. Either "household" or "person".

implicates

Integer. Number of PUMA implicates to return for the donor microdata.

collapse

Logical. Should rows be collapsed and weighting factors aggregated when there are multiple imputations of the same household-PUMA?

ncores

Integer. Number of physical CPU cores used for parallel computation.

Value

A list of length two containing output data frames specific to donor and recipient output, respectfully. Can be passed to assemble.

Examples

prep <- prepare(donor = "RECS_2015",
                recipient = "ACS_2015",
                respondent = "household",
                implicates = 3)
