export.model: Export output files for appending into MARK .dbf/.fpt format

In RMark: R Code for Mark Analysis

Export output files for appending into MARK .dbf/.fpt format

Description

Creates renamed versions of the output,vcv and residual files so they can be appended into a MARK .dbf file.

Usage

export.model(model, replace = FALSE)

Arguments

model	a mark model object or marklist object
replace	if file exists and replace=TRUE, file will be over-written

Details

If model is a marklist then it exports each model in the marklist. The function simply copies the files with new names so the MARK interface will recognize them. The marknnn.out is copied as marknnnY.tmp, marknnn.res is copied as marknnnx.tmp and marknnn.vcv is copied as marknnnV.tmp. You can create a MARK .dbf by using export.chdata to create an input file for MARK, opening MARK (MARKINT.EXE) to create a new .dbf with the input file, and then using the Output/Append to select the output file (marknnnY.tmp) to append the model with its files. Then you can use any facilities of MARK that are not already included in RMark.

***Warning*** Make sure that you use the .inp created by export.chdata with your processed data to create the MARK .dbf file rather than using a separate similar .inp file. It is essential that the group structure and ordering of groups matches between the .inp file and the exported models or you can get erroneous results.
