print() states the issue profile as a run of takes rather than as one row per occasion, because a schedule's occasions are mostly identical and its length is set by the reporting horizon rather than by the design. summary() gives the occasion-by-occasion tables: the issue profile in full, the component activity, the overlap the rotation produces, and the interviews owed after the horizon. as.data.frame() returns the issue profile, and every table stays reachable as a field.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
summary(object, ...)

# S3 method for class 'summary.svyplan_schedule'
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
format(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
as.data.frame(
  x,
  row.names = NULL,
  optional = FALSE,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
  validRN = TRUE,
  ...
)

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
x$name <- value

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
x[i] <- value

# S3 method for class 'svyplan_schedule'
x[[i]] <- value

Arguments

x

An svyplan_schedule, or the summary.svyplan_schedule object summary() returns.

...

Additional arguments are not supported and produce an error.

object

An svyplan_schedule.

row.names, optional, stringsAsFactors, validRN

Standard as.data.frame() arguments.

name, i, value

Standard replacement arguments for $<-, [[<-, and [<-. These operations are refused because they would break reconciliation within the schedule object.

Value

print() returns its argument invisibly, summary() an object of class summary.svyplan_schedule carrying the schedule and its four tables, format() one descriptive string, and as.data.frame() the issue profile.

Direct field and table replacement with $<-, [[<-, or [<- is refused because the metadata and tables describe one reconciled design. Recompute with design_schedule() to change the plan, or extract a table first to modify a plain data frame.

design_schedule(), which builds these objects, n_panel() for the rotating plan they schedule, and print.svyplan_overlap() for the rotation the life describes.
