Check for duplicate IP addresses and/or locations

Description

The check_duplicates() function subsets rows of data, retaining rows that have the same IP address and/or same latitude and longitude. The function is written to work with data from Qualtrics surveys.

Usage

check_duplicates(
  x,
  id_col = "ResponseId",
  ip_col = "IPAddress",
  location_col = c("LocationLatitude", "LocationLongitude"),
  rename = TRUE,
  dupl_ip = TRUE,
  dupl_location = TRUE,
  include_na = FALSE,
  keep = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE,
  print = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

Data frame (preferably imported from Qualtrics using {qualtRics}).

id_col

Column name for unique row ID (e.g., participant).

ip_col

Column name for IP addresses.

location_col

Two element vector specifying columns for latitude and longitude (in that order).

rename

Logical indicating whether to rename columns (using rename_columns())

dupl_ip

Logical indicating whether to check IP addresses.

dupl_location

Logical indicating whether to check latitude and longitude.

include_na

Logical indicating whether to include rows with NAs for IP address and location as potentially excluded rows.

keep

Logical indicating whether to keep or remove exclusion column.

quiet

Logical indicating whether to print message to console.

print

Logical indicating whether to print returned tibble to console.

Details

To record this information in your Qualtrics survey, you must ensure that Anonymize responses is disabled.

Default column names are set based on output from the qualtRics::fetch_survey(). By default, IP address and location are both checked, but they can be checked separately with the dupl_ip and dupl_location arguments.

The function outputs to console separate messages about the number of rows with duplicate IP addresses and rows with duplicate locations. These counts are computed independently, so rows may be counted for both types of duplicates.

Value

An object of the same type as x that includes the rows with duplicate IP addresses and/or locations. This includes a column called dupe_count that returns the number of duplicates. For a function that marks these rows, use mark_duplicates(). For a function that excludes these rows, use exclude_duplicates().

See Also

Other duplicates functions: exclude_duplicates(), mark_duplicates()

Other check functions: check_duration(), check_ip(), check_location(), check_preview(), check_progress(), check_resolution()

Examples

# Check for duplicate IP addresses and locations
data(qualtrics_text)
check_duplicates(qualtrics_text)

# Check only for duplicate locations
qualtrics_text %>%
  check_duplicates(dupl_location = FALSE)

# Do not print rows to console

The function outputs to console separate messages about the number of rows that are too fast or too slow.

This function returns the fast and slow rows.

Value

An object of the same type as x that includes the rows with fast and/or slow duration. For a function that marks these rows, use mark_duration(). For a function that excludes these rows, use exclude_duration().

See Also

Other duration functions: exclude_duration(), mark_duration()

print

Logical indicating whether to print returned tibble to console.

Details

To record this information in your Qualtrics survey, you must ensure that Anonymize responses is disabled.

Default column names are set based on output from the qualtRics::fetch_survey(). The function uses ipaddress::country_networks() to assign IP addresses to specific countries using ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes.

The function outputs to console a message about the number of rows with IP addresses outside of the specified country. If there are NAs for IP addresses (likely due to including preview data—see check_preview()), it will print a message alerting to the number of rows with NAs.

Value

An object of the same type as x that includes the rows with IP addresses outside of the specified country. For a function that marks these rows, use mark_ip(). For a function that excludes these rows, use exclude_ip().

Note

This function requires internet connectivity as it uses the ipaddress::country_networks() function, which pulls daily updated data from https://www.iwik.org/ipcountry/. It only updates the data once per session, as it caches the results for future work during the session.

Remove columns that could include identifiable information

Description

The deidentify() function selects out columns from Qualtrics surveys that may include identifiable information such as IP address, location, or computer characteristics.

Usage

deidentify(x, strict = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Data frame (downloaded from Qualtrics).

strict

Logical indicating whether to use strict or non-strict level of deidentification. Strict removes computer information columns in addition to IP address and location.

Details

The function offers two levels of deidentification. The default strict level removes columns associated with IP address and location and computer information (browser type and version, operating system, and screen resolution). The non-strict level removes only columns associated with IP address and location.

Typically, deidentification should be used at the end of a processing pipeline so that these columns can be used to exclude rows.

Exclude survey progress

Description

The exclude_progress() function removes rows that have incomplete progress. The function is written to work with data from Qualtrics surveys.

Usage

exclude_progress(
  x,
  min_progress = 100,
  id_col = "ResponseId",
  finished_col = "Finished",
  progress_col = "Progress",
  rename = TRUE,
  quiet = TRUE,
  print = TRUE,
  silent = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

Data frame (preferably imported from Qualtrics using {qualtRics}).

min_progress

Amount of progress considered acceptable to include.

id_col

Column name for unique row ID (e.g., participant).

finished_col

Column name for whether survey was completed.

progress_col

Column name for percentage of survey completed.

rename

Logical indicating whether to rename columns (using rename_columns())

quiet

Logical indicating whether to print message to console.

print

Logical indicating whether to print returned tibble to console.

silent

Logical indicating whether to print message to console. Note this argument controls the exclude message not the check message.

Details

Default column names are set based on output from the qualtRics::fetch_survey(). The default requires 100% completion, but lower levels of completion maybe acceptable and can be allowed by specifying the min_progress argument. The finished column in Qualtrics can be a numeric or character vector depending on whether it is exported as choice text or numeric values. This function works for both.

The function outputs to console a message about the number of rows that have incomplete progress.

Value

An object of the same type as x that excludes rows that have incomplete progress. For a function that checks for these rows, use check_progress(). For a function that marks these rows, use mark_progress().

See Also

Other progress functions: check_progress(), mark_progress()

Other exclude functions: exclude_duplicates(), exclude_duration(), exclude_ip(), exclude_location(), exclude_preview(), exclude_resolution()

Examples

# Exclude rows with incomplete progress
data(qualtrics_text)
df <- exclude_progress(qualtrics_text)

Remove two initial rows created in Qualtrics data

Description

The remove_label_rows() function filters out the initial label rows from datasets downloaded from Qualtrics surveys.

Usage

remove_label_rows(x, convert = TRUE, rename = FALSE)

Arguments

x

Data frame (downloaded from Qualtrics).

convert

Logical indicating whether to convert/coerce date, logical and numeric columns from the metadata.

rename

Logical indicating whether to rename columns based on first row of data.

Details

The function (1) checks if the data set uses Qualtrics column names, (2) checks if label rows are already used as column names, (3) removes label rows if present, and (4) converts date, logical, and numeric metadata columns to proper data type. Datasets imported using qualtRics::fetch_survey() should not need this function.

The convert argument only converts the StartDate, EndDate, RecordedDate, Progress, Finished, Duration (in seconds), LocationLatitude, and LocationLongitude columns. To convert other data columns, see dplyr::mutate().

Value

An object of the same type as x that excludes Qualtrics label rows and with date, logical, and numeric metadata columns converted to the correct data class.

Examples

# Remove label rows
data(qualtrics_raw)
df <- remove_label_rows(qualtrics_raw)

Rename columns to match standard Qualtrics names

Description

The rename_columns() function renames the metadata columns to match standard Qualtrics names.

Usage

rename_columns(x, alert = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Data frame (preferably imported from Qualtrics using {qualtRics}).

alert

Logical indicating whether to alert user to the fact that the columns do not match the secondary labels and therefore cannot be renamed.

Details

When importing Qualtrics data using qualtRics::fetch_survey(). labels entered in Qualtrics questions are saved as 'subtitles' for column names. Using sjlabelled::get_label() can make these secondary labels be the primary column names. However, this results in a different set of names for the metadata columns than is used in all of the mark_(), check_(), and exclude_() functions. This function renames these columns to match the standard Qualtrics names.

Value

An object of the same type as x that has column names that match standard Qualtrics names.

See Also

Other column name functions: use_labels()

Examples

# Rename columns
data(qualtrics_fetch)
qualtrics_renamed <- qualtrics_fetch %>%
  rename_columns()
names(qualtrics_fetch)
names(qualtrics_renamed)

# Alerts when columns cannot be renamed
data(qualtrics_numeric)
rename_columns(qualtrics_numeric)

# Turn off alert
rename_columns(qualtrics_numeric, alert = FALSE)
