In jessicaaudreylee/PhenoEvoR: Tools for analysis of NetLogo Pheno-Evo model results

Description

In Pheno-Evo experiments, it is common to store all the values from all agents for a particular variable at each given timepoint. In the resulting Netlogo data table, those values all go into a single entry of the table at each timepoint. [extractnumeric()] can be used to split up those values and export them as a vector.

Usage

extractnumeric(charstring)

Arguments

charstring

The full character string from one entry of a NetLogo data table, including brackets and quotation marks.

Details

In general, the normal Pheno-Evo user should not have to use this function. It is called by several other functions used for analyzing Pheno-Evo output data, such as [summarize.endpoint()]. For a function that calculates density and returns a dataframe, see [parsenumeric()]. For a function that returns the values as factors rather than numeric, see [parsefactors.norm()].

Value

A vector containing all the numbers that were in the cell of the table.

Examples

data(PE.ends)
PE.ends$degrade.rate[4]
extractnumeric(PE.ends$degrade.rate[4])
