editDataset.design: function to add a warning to the Rcmdr editDataset function

In RcmdrPlugin.DoE: R Commander Plugin for (Industrial) Design of Experiments

function to add a warning to the Rcmdr editDataset function

Description

invokes a warning message before the data.frame method of editDataset is called

Usage

## S3 method for class 'design'
editDataset(data, dsname, ...)

Arguments

data	an object of class design
dsname	a character string argument, which is always missing in the usage of the function
...	not used

Details

It is discouraged to edit design objects from within R. Users should export the design and re-import it after adding response data.

Nevertheless, it is possible to add response values by adding numeric columns to the design with the editor (never edit factors!), and users will have to attach the responses added to an edited design to their original design afterwards, using e.g. the
Modify design -> Add response variables ...
menu, providing the edited data set as the R object that contains the responses.

Value

a data.frame with .edited appended to the original design name and without any class design properties.

If editing involved adding response data, the edited file can be used for adding respones to the design object (see Details section).

Warning

Editing a class design object is seldom useful.
