Installation

Install the stable release version in R:

install.packages("sweidnumbr")

Test the installation by loading the library:

library(sweidnumbr)

We also recommend setting the UTF-8 encoding:

Sys.setlocale(locale="UTF-8")

Examples

As a first step we need to convert personal identity numbers (pin) to the sam standard ABS format.

example_pin <- c("640823-3234", "6408233234", "19640823-3230")
example_pin <- pin_format(example_pin)
example_pin

## [1] "196408233234" "196408233234" "196408233230"

The next step is to test if the format is correct. To do this we use the is_pin() function.

is.pin(example_pin)

## [1] TRUE TRUE TRUE

This only check the format of the pin. To check the pin using the control number we use pin_ctrl().

pin_ctrl(example_pin)

## [1]  TRUE  TRUE FALSE

We can now use pin_birthplace() and pin_sex(). To get information on sex and birthplace.

pin_sex(example_pin)

## [1] Male Male Male
## Levels: Male

pin_birthplace(example_pin)

## [1] Gotlands län Gotlands län Gotlands län
## Levels: Gotlands län

As the last step we can calculate the age based on the pin. We choose the date where we want to calculate the age. If date is not specified the current date is used.

pin_age(example_pin)

## [1] 50 50 50

pin_age(example_pin, date = "2000-01-01")

## [1] 35 35 35
