| na.fail | R Documentation |
These generic functions are useful for dealing with NAs
in e.g., data frames.
na.fail returns the object if it does not contain any
missing values, and signals an error otherwise.
na.omit returns the object with incomplete cases removed.
na.pass returns the object unchanged.
na.fail(object, ...) na.omit(object, ...) na.exclude(object, ...) na.pass(object, ...)

an R object, typically a data frame |

further arguments special methods could require. |
At present these will handle vectors, matrices and data frames comprising vectors and matrices (only).
If na.omit removes cases, the row numbers of the cases form the
"na.action" attribute of the result, of class "omit".
na.exclude differs from na.omit only in the class of the
"na.action" attribute of the result, which is
"exclude". This gives different behaviour in functions making
use of naresid and napredict: when
na.exclude is used the residuals and predictions are padded to
the correct length by inserting NAs for cases omitted by
na.exclude.
