create.sub.objects: Create sub-objects for each object in a dataframe (internal)

In datplot: Preparation of Object Dating Ranges for Density Plots (Aoristic Analysis)

Create sub-objects for each object in a dataframe (internal)

Description

Requires a list with named vectors as [datsteps()] will hand to the function.

Usage

create.sub.objects(DAT_list, stepsize, calc = "weight", cumulative = FALSE)

Arguments

DAT_list	a list as prepared by [datsteps()]
stepsize	numeric, default is 1. Number of years that should be used as an interval for creating dating steps.
calc	method of calculation to use; can be either one of "weight" (default) or "probability": * "weight": use the [published original calculation](https://doi.org/10.1017/aap.2021.8) for weights, * "probability": calculate year-wise probability instead (only reasonable when 'stepsize = 1')
cumulative	FALSE (default), TRUE: add a column containing the cumulative probability for each object (only reasonable when 'stepsize = 1', and will automatically use probability calculation)

Value

an expanded list of the same structure to be further processed by [datsteps()] each object duplicated according to the number of steps required
