Arguments

sgp_object

An object of class SGP containing data to be exported.

state

Acronym for which state is to be used for the lagged projections and growth to standard analyses. Function will try to guess state name from passed sgp_object is missing.

years

A vector indicating the years to be included in the output. Default is to use all years.

content_areas

A vector indicating the content areas to be included in the output. Default is to use all content areas.

output.type

A character vector indicating what output type is requested. Currently LONG_Data, WIDE_Data, INSTRUCTOR_Data, SchoolView, RLI are supported modes of output. LONG_Data exports the contents of the @Data slot in a pipe delimited format. LONG_FINAL_YEAR_Data exports the contents of the last year of the @Data slot in a pipe delimited format. WIDE_Data exports a reshaped version of the @Data slot where each row is a unique student record. INSTRUCTOR_Data uses the @Data_Supplementary$INSTRUCTOR_NUMBER table to export a long student by instructor number table. SchoolView exports tables used for representation in SchoolView. RLI exports used for representation by RLI. The default exports LONG_Data, LONG_FINAL_YEAR_Data, WIDE_Data and INSTRUCTOR_Data.

baseline.sgps

Boolean vector indicating whether to output baseline SGPs for cohort referenced SGPs.

outputSGP_SUMMARY.years

A character vector indicating the year to be used for output file construction for summary tables.

outputSGP_SUMMARY.content_areas

A character vector indicating the content areas to be used for output file construction for summary tables.

outputSGP_INDIVIDUAL.years

A character vector indicating the year to be used for output file construction for individual level file.

outputSGP_INDIVIDUAL.content_areas

A character vector indicating the content areas to be used for output file construction for individual level file.

outputSGP.anonymize

A Boolean variable indicating whether to anonymize output files.

outputSGP.student.groups

A list of variables to be used for student groups in individual and summary tables.

outputSGP.directory

A a file path indicating where to save output files. Defaults to Data.

outputSGP.translate.names

A Boolean argument, defaults to TRUE, indicating whether data output should refer to 'names.provided' or 'names.sgp' in @Names slot of supplied SGP object. This argument allows for the the conversion of variable naming conventions from the SGP package back to that used by the state/organization.

outputSGP.projection.years.for.target

An integer argument indicating what projection to supply with regard to the number of years projected forward.

outputSGP.pass.through.variables

A character vector of variables in @Data that are to be merged with output in RLI output.type. Default is NULL or no.

Value

Function writes data in multiple formats including .Rdata, .txt (pipe delimited) and zipped versions of .txt.
