create_population: Create a new population

In edpclient: Empirical Data Platform Client

Description

Create a new population by uploading data and a schema.

Usage

create_population(sess, data, name)

Arguments

sess	an edp_session from edp_session(...)
data	a data frame containing the data to build models from
name	a length-one character naming the population

Details

This function derives a population schema from data, uploads the data and schema, and creates a new remote population object. You can optionally use functions like stat_type<- and display_name<- on columns of the data frame before calling create_population if you want to give it hints about what the schema should be.

Value

A new EDP population object. If you print it or cast it to character, you can get an id that will let you get the object back later with population.
