check_ind_press: Check class and variable names and types of ind and press...

In INDperform: Evaluation of Indicator Performances for Assessing Ecosystem States

Description

check_ind_press is a helper function for model_trend and ind_init. It coerces the data into a data frame and checks the type of each variable. If any of the variables is not a number (double or integer) it will return an error message. Also the variable names are checked for unwanted characters (e.g. hyphen, brackets, etc.) and when necessary replaced by an underscore. The latter is required for the correct model specifications.

Usage

check_ind_press(x, input = "ind")

Arguments

x	A data object containing only the indicator or pressure variables (vector, matrix, data frame or tibble).
input	Indication whether x represents the indicator (default) or pressure variable(s). If x is a vector, 'input' determines the variable name when coerced to a data frame.

Value

The function returns the input object as data frame with correct variable names.
