vec_detect_complete()
detects "complete" observations. An observation is
considered complete if it is non-missing. For most vectors, this implies that
vec_detect_complete(x) == !vec_equal_na(x)
.
For data frames and matrices, a row is only considered complete if all
elements of that row are non-missing. To compare, !vec_equal_na(x)
detects
rows that are partially complete (they have at least one non-missing value).
Details
A record type vector is similar to a data frame, and is only considered complete if all fields are non-missing.
Examples
x <- c(1, 2, NA, 4, NA)
# For most vectors, this is identical to `!vec_equal_na(x)`
vec_detect_complete(x)
#> [1] TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE
!vec_equal_na(x)
#> [1] TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE
df <- data_frame(
x = x,
y = c("a", "b", NA, "d", "e")
)

# This returns `TRUE` where all elements of the row are non-missing.
# Compare that with `!vec_equal_na()`, which detects rows that have at
# least one non-missing value.
