In Rcompadre: Utilities for using the 'COM(P)ADRE' Matrix Model Database

Export a COM(P)ADRE database to a Matlab-friendly flat text file

Description

Exports a CompadreDB object to a delimited text file that can be read directly into Matlab with functions such as readtable(). Matrices and stage vectors are converted to string representation using cdb_flatten, so each database row remains a single tabular row in the output file.

Usage

cdb_export_matlab(cdb, file, format = c("csv", "tsv"), na = "NA", quote = TRUE)

Arguments

cdb	A CompadreDB object
file	Path to the output text file
format	Output format. Either "csv" or "tsv"
na	String to use for missing values in the exported file
quote	Logical indicating whether character fields should be quoted

Value

Invisibly returns the normalized path to the written file
