Defines functions suspectParticipants

Documented in suspectParticipants

#' Selects suspect participants from a `carelessObject`
#'
#' This function is a wrapper for the [carelessObject()]
#' function, which wraps a number of functions from
#' the `careless` package. Normally, you'd probably
#' call `carelessReport` which calls this function
#' to generate a report of suspect participants.
#'
#' @param carelessObject The result of the call to
#' [carelessObject()].
#' @param nFlags The number of flags required to be considered
#' suspect.
#' @param digits The number of digits to round to.
#' @param missingSymbol How to represent missing values.
#'
#' @return A logical vector.
#' @export
#'
#' @examples suspectParticipants(carelessObject(mtcars),
#'                     nFlags = 2);
