Description

fnDetermineScoreColumns is designed to determine which column or columns in a data frame contain (numeric) scores. It operates based on a series of conditionals which evaluate aspects such as whether the variable is numeric, whether the values have a range typical of scoring schemes, or have ranges narrower or broader than scoring schemes used in PSMD.

fnDetermineScoreColumns.(dataExample) will return a list of column names for the columns the function thinks could be scores.

In the case of dataExamples, this is multiple possibilities. In reality, there is likely to be fewer.
