computeProfileData-methods: Method computeProfileData from Class "StackedData"

Description Usage Arguments Value Methods Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

This function is a method of the StackedData class which computes the profile data which can be stored in the profileData slot of a StackedData object. This method relies on the marker data slot being assigned in the StackedData object. No computation is required. Instead, the marker combination percentages data is re-organized to be 'horizontal' rather than 'stacked' (vertical). This makes it ready for plotting via the GroupListBoxplot() function.

Usage

1
   computeProfileData(object, byVarNames, idVarName, percentVarName, groupVarName)    

Arguments

object

an object of the StackedData class

byVarNames

character; the names of the variables specifying the subsets of interest in the data

idVarName

character; the name of the id variable in the data

percentVarName

character; the name of the variable holding the percentages to be summed when computing the pfd summary data

groupVarName

character; the name of the variable specifying the group assignment in the data

Value

data frame of profile data

Methods

signature(object = "StackedData", byVarNames = "character", idVarName = "character", percentVarName = "character", groupVarName = "character")

Compute the profile data.
